sudo dd if=barebox.bin of=/dev/sde bs=512 seek=2 skip=2 && sync

The flash header in the barebox image is at offset 0x400 already, so 
effectively you are dd'ing it to 0x800 .. hence the skip=2 is also required.

Very possible  :) 

Another thing to check is that your image isn't larger than 256K (or what you 
specify in the variable that goes in __image_len_XXXXX section)

I remember what a PITA this is to tackle when you're getting started. Here's 
what I use now... pardon the formatting:

struct imx_flash_header __flash_header_0x0400 sd_flash_header = {
	.app_code_jump_vector	= TEXT_BASE + ((unsigned int)&exception_vectors - 
TEXT_BASE),
	.app_code_barker	= APP_CODE_BARKER,
	.app_code_csf		= 0,
	.dcd_ptr_ptr		= TEXT_BASE + 0x0400 + offsetof(struct imx_flash_header, 
dcd),
	.super_root_key		= 0,
	.dcd			= TEXT_BASE + 0x0400 + offsetof(struct imx_flash_header, 
dcd_barker),
	.app_dest		= TEXT_BASE,
	.dcd_barker		= DCD_BARKER,
	.dcd_block_len		= sizeof(sd_dcd_entry),
};

unsigned long __image_len_0x0400 sd_barebox_len = 0x40000;


Cheers
Marc
