Izzy,

I tried downloading the pointed to sample data, and did the following
command:

   gdal_merge.py -o out.tif -pct B00605.tif C00605.tif

This seemed to work fine.  Note that C00605.tif is an inset, so it was
overlayed on B00605.tif.  Order of the files on the commandline is important
or the inset would have been obliterated by the main image.

Note that AUS00605.tif does not seem to have georeferencing and should not
be merged with the other files.

Best regards,
