There are a couple of problems here. You're specifying sh+smvsnh.mat as the contrast, but it should not have a .mat extension, so it can't find the input. This exposed a bug in mris_preproc, which I have just fixed. Even if you remove the .mat, I think it still fails because there is no contrast volume in the contrast directory (maybe selxavg failed?)

oops. I pasted the original error message incorrectly. below is the error
with the corrected path.

  

Hi,
In anattempt to prepare to run a monte carlo cluster threshold simulation
with a group of subjects in stable3, I run into the following error using
mris_preproc:

[troy:retrievalnewest] (nmr-stable3-env) mris_preproc --fsgd
SM2_glm_MC_controls.fsgd --target allsubavg --hemi lh --sf
sessidallsh+smvsnh --a retrievalSPMHRF_5cond_40TW --c sh+smvsnh.mat --out
SM2_glm_MC_controls_sh+smvsnh.mgh

ERROR: cannot find
/autofs/space/troy_003/users/retrievalnewest/SM0C1/bold/retrievalSPMHRF_5cond_40TW/sh+smvsnh.mat/ces.bhdr

I do not know why fsfast is looking for this file here or how to indicate
where it is. Am I running in the wrong env? When I try dev I get this
error:

[troy:retrievalnewest] (nmr-std-env) mris_preproc --fsgd
SM2_glm_MC_controls.fsgd --target allsubavg --hemi lh --sf
sessidcontrolssh+smvsnh --a retrievalSPMHRF_5cond_40TW --c sh+smvsnh.mat
--out SM2_glm_MC_controls_sh+smvsnh.mgh
if: Expression Syntax.

Any suggestions?
Cameron
