Martin,

As the error message suggests, no, not at the time with the PostGISRaster 
driver which basically only supports creation of a new raster through 
duplicatin an existing postgisraster table thanks to SQL copy mechanisms.

You have to use raster2pgsql provided with PostGIS for what you want to do.
