Hello-
I'm having a consistent problem running multiple subjects through tracula.  I am able to run single subjects through all steps but whenever I try to run it on multiple subjects I get the same error about a syntax error and one of the items it wants to copy being a directory so its not being copied. I can't figure out what in my configuration file is incorrect.  I'm attaching the configuration file to this email.

I'm only trying to get the first few steps done at the moment so command I run is: trac-all -corr -qa -intra -inter -masks -c Tracula_config

And it outputs this:

set: Syntax Error.
