Once you're tracking is set right, if you're still not getting fibers you
can dilute your voxel to a larger ROI and then apply a WM mask to the
resulting image (see Hagmann, HBM, 2006; ImageJ also useful). You may want
to do this anyway, since tensors in grey matter voxels can have wonky
orientations and estimation of fibers in low-FA regions is relatively
unreliable.
It would also be important to check some anatomy textbooks and see what
kinds of tracts you'd expect to connect to your voxel, that can only help
inform your results.
hope this helps,
