You need to use "-e" option to define the exchangeability between the two time points.  -e design.grp
 
If the first 50 points are from your first time points, the second 50 points are from your second data points. Here is the example design.grp for randomise.  The two scans are from the same subject.  Thus, they might be correlated.  You need to count for that.  Otherwise, program will have problem with TFCE correction.  It happened to me before.
 
design.grp:

Hello,

I am trying to run randomise for repeated measures on baseline (50 scans) and followup data( 50 scans) as a paired analyses. In my design matrix , i have first 3 columns to model group, time, interaction followed by 50 columns to model the categorical effect. Hence, the size of design matrix is (100 X 53). I have attached the design matrix (design.mat).

When i run randomise on my TBSS data using this design matrix, i get the following Warning ( i have pasted the terminal text below ). For some reason tfce is not able to handle it. Can you please explain why and what is the work around for this situation?
