I don't see anything wrong unless the floppy disk you copied had nothing on
it.  What happens when you insert the floppy disk and enter:
DRIVE 0,OFF
DIR 0

You could have avoided the problem of the missing .DSK extension by
providing it when created:
DRIVE 1,"MUSIC.DSK",NEW

If there are indeed files on the floppy disk, do they show up on the SD
image after the Backup?
BACKUP 0 TO 1
DIR 1
