Just guesses here...

Is this with an erased flash or with a flash with a HRCW programmed?

When you pull RSTCONF* high, your IMMR is set to 0x00000000.  This is 
quite likely _not_ what you want, so you are going to have to fix up 
some registers.

In your snippet above, you will need to change:
WM32    0x00010004      0xFFFFFFC3      ;SYPCR: disable watchdog
WM32    0x000101A8      0x04700000      ;IMMR : internal space @ 0x04700000

You need to review every field in the HRCW and verify a value of 0 is OK 
or initialize the related registers in your BDI config file.  I don't 
know enough (and am not paid enough ;-) to do this.
