You could try this:

/home/matt/fsl4.1/bin/probtrackx -x
/home/matt/TRIO/090522/DICOM/09052216/41270000/dti2.bedpostX/lpcc.nii.gz -V
1 -l -c 0.2 -S 2000 --steplength=0.5 -P 5000
--avoid=/home/matt/TRIO/090522/DICOM/09052216/41270000/dti2.bedpostX/exclude
.nii.gz --forcedir --opd -s
/home/matt/TRIO/090522/DICOM/09052216/41270000/dti2.bedpostX/./merged -m
/home/matt/TRIO/090522/DICOM/09052216/41270000/dti2.bedpostX/./nodif_brain_m
ask --dir=l_cingulate --waypoints=l_cingulate/waypoints.txt

I removed what appeared to be some typos in your commandline, and -f and
-modeuler, neither of which I have found to improve your results (see
previous discussions of -f for why there is a better way of accomplishing
this).

Peace,

Matt.

Hi Saad,
No, I mean I don't get an fdt_paths.nii.gz image at all!  

I didn't use the -f option in my original tractography (I haven't used the 
command line thus far -- what I sent previously was the contents of the 
probtrackx.log from my waypoints analysis).  In my original attempt, I put a

seed in left posterior cingulum, along with a midline exclusion mask, and
got a 
beautiful result that wraps around the callosum as it should.  I put a
waypoint 
seed in the middle of the A-P extent of the cingulum hoping to constrain the

anlaysis, and that's where I'm stuck (nb, I had used the same exclude mask
in 
both analyses, I tried the waypoint analysis without the exclude mask, but
still 
no luck).

I just verified that the tract from the seed roi passes directly through the

waypoint mask, so that shouldn't be the problem either.

Best,
Matt

PS. My sequence should be fine: 30 directions, 7 b=0 images, b=0, 800.
