Dear Gwenaëlle, thank you for your help. I ran the analysis from the scratch (ok, from tbss_1) just to be sure. It was really fast, but the scripts did not generate anything in stats directory, only tons of error messages. I am sending ls -la - I and errors. I hope it helps. with thanks George 2008/9/9 Gwenaëlle DOUAUD <[log in to unmask]>: > Hi George, > > I am not 100% sure of what's happening here, but I have a bad feeling... > > Could you please re-run tbss_2 and 3 after replacing all the `$FSLDIR/bin/imglob by `$FSLDIR/bin/remove_ext in these two scripts?
