Wouter,

I was the author of that code, but it has been a number of years since I've done anything with SDE. I believe it has to do with the fact that the raster layer you're reading from has a bitmask (bitmap) on it, and the SDE driver doesn't handle them.  The code probably needs to be updated to either disregard the mask, or handle it as a GDAL MaskBand.

Hope this helps,

Howard
