Alternatively, maybe the initial affine registration isn't working so well. Try using "Check Reg" to see how well aligned your T1w image is to the MNI-space data released with SPM12. If the initial alignment isn't so good (more than about 4cm and 15 degrees) then there's a greater chance of a failure. I'm not sure which segmentation you are using. If you are using SPM8 or older, then maybe update to SPM12. If you are using CAT, then Christian might have other suggestions.
