I've been calling up an expert options file which contains the text "mri_normalize -gentle" but I'm having trouble executing it with this command:

"recon-all -s 002 -expert 002/scripts/expert.opts"

It results in the following error:

ERROR: there is a pre-existing expert options file and
you have specified an expert options file on the command-line.
If you want to use the file specified on the command-line,
you must run with -xopts-overwrite, or you may edit the
existing file /mridata/workingdata/INS/subjects/002/scripts/expert.opts (and not use the -expert option).

The help message is a little confusing (and not use the -expert option) but executing

"recon-all -s 002 -xopts-overwrite 002/scripts/expert.opts"

gives me the following error:

ERROR: Flag 002/scripts/expert.opts unrecognized.

Any ideas or help on this one?
