Hi Angela,
This is a bug on osx, which does not have the --preserve=timestamps flag available to cp. This will be fixed in the next 7.1 patch, but in the meantime, you can fix this manually via:
cd $FREESURFER_HOME/bin
sudo rm rca-long-tp-init
sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freesurfer/freesurfer/dev/scripts/rca-long-tp-init -o rca-long-tp-init
sudo chmod +x rca-long-tp-init
Best
Andrew

Subject: [Freesurfer] Problems with freesurfer 7.1.0
External Email - Use Caution
Dear Freesurfer experts,
I am re-analyzing my longitudinal dataset using Freesurfer 7.1.0 with a McOS Catalina. I found 2 main problems
1. About a 10% of cases failed at the segmentation stage during the recon-all processing (I uploaded one of these cases in one of my previous mails)
2. After the building of the template during the longitudinal processing, at the recon-all -long I found the following error:
longmc Done
/Users/angelafavaro/Desktop/Aachen/subj201.long.template4/mri
\n cp -f --preserve=timestamps /Users/angelafavaro/Desktop/Aachen/template4/mri/brainmask.mgz ./brainmask_template4.mgz \n
cp: illegal option -- -

Can you please help me with this two issues?
Thank you so much!
