Maybe you're using an old version of DCONV?  Support for Watford images 
was incorporated only into the latest version (AFAIK).

Alternatively, you might want to give Wouter Scholten's utilities a go.  
bbcim-0.92.zip can be found on my pages, and you need to compile it 
yourself.  For DOS/Windows, you'll need to go through the source and 
make sure that all binary files are opened with the "b" option.  A 
Watford disk image is then processed as follows:

w62 watford.img            ; produces watford.img%
bbcim -ed# watford.img
bbcim -ed# watford.img%    ; DOS/Windows: use "%%"

bbcim crashes ungracefully if a BBC filename contains the character "/".  
You'll have to manually edit the image with a hex editor to remedy this.
