Thanks for your comments John. I took my computer home and followed your suggestion by emptying all the files and folders from the working directory (there were only the ones required for the MoAE) and then the file specification worked fine. So I recopied all the files and folders back to the working directory and it still worked! I think maybe the problem was solved by restarting my computer when I took it home. Perhaps some process was interfering with SPM/Matlab's file selector? But I appreciate the help you offered. Cheers.
