Hi there,
not an expert at all, but...
First FreeSurfer is really great in handling dicoms (even I only
tried siemens ones), and its conversion tool mri_convert is a joy to
work with.

You are lucky, that one is severly improved with the just released
kernel 2.6.23, so download, compile an stick to the tools you already
know, alternatively I seem to recall that xargs supposedly can be
used to work around the argument list problem (no first hand
experience though).
