[Freesurfer] map label to subjects

Hi, I'm running fsv405 on a 64bit Linux centos5. I have not had much success with using the File - Save Label - Filename within qdec (v1.1). The gui prompt has a default filename set to lh.untitled.label and I am unable to edit that name, but I can write the default filename to the default dir (e.g. /usr/local/fsaverage/label). Similarly, I am unable to use the File-MapLabeltoSubjects option within qdec. A default label name is not provided and I am unable to type something in the gui box field.

I have recursively changed permissions for the subjects dir from /usr/local/freesurfer such that I am the owner and chmod to be 770.

Is there a simple solution for my user error?
