Are you loading HDB-DOS DW into RAM or running it from a ROM? It
definitely won't work with HDB-DOS in RAM because the patched DOD code
is loaded into the same location.
The patched DOD does not directly access the floppy hardware. It
detects which version of Disk Basic is present and makes calls to
specific locations in the ROM to read and write files. It should be
detecting HDB-DOS as Disk Basic 1.1.
