Hello Alison,
Thank you very much for your advice. At least I know where the problem is, even though it doesn't look like I can solve it at the moment, since I have no writing rights to the file and our administrator is ... guess where? away in Boston, at Freesurfer and your home :)
Hopefully I'll be able to fix it when he's back early next week.
Will let you know
 
Many thanks again,
Iwo

Iwo,
If you do
ls $FREESURFER_HOME/bin

Do you see mri_nu_correct.mni there?

If you do, this message might help you:
http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg06793.html

Essentially, you have to make sure the nu_correct uses perl so you need to
make sure it knows where it's located.

If you don't have that binary, then you'll need to download it.
Let us know,
Allison
