Hi - no, ignore the FLIRT warnings.

The FLAME warnings are of more concern - this almost always means that you 
have very strong outliers in your data input to FLAME. One thing to check 
is to load the .gfeat/cope? images into fslview and flick through the 
timepoints to check for outliers.

Cheers, Steve.
