The first page of the DFL tutorial notes that you should use dfl.exe to 
compile DFL apps, which Jesse mentioned using yesterday, not dmd directly:

http://wiki.dprogramming.com/Dfl/Tutorial

You can also use dmd, but that page links to extra flags you need to use 
to compile DFL with dmd, which I don't see you using.  Who knows if the 
dmd option even works anymore, but I was able to use dfl.exe along with 
dmd/phobos 2 when I tried it earlier this year.
