I am trying to run mri_glmfit and while 90% of my files work, some of them display the error below. I have tried demeaning, and then tried multiplying this value by 100, and I still get the same error. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Possible problem with experimental design:
Check for duplicate entries and/or lack of range of
continuous variables within a class.
If you seek help with this problem, make sure to send:
1. Your command line:
mri_glmfit --y rh.mono_EnglishParityRT_age_gender_TIV.volume.00B.mgh --fsgd /gpfs/scratch/jtl190/FSGD_files/fsgd_math_mono_EnglishParityRT_age_gender_TIV_demean100.fsgd --C /gpfs/scratch/jtl190/Contrast_files/Contrast_math_monly_EnglishParityRT_a_g_TIV.txt --surf fsaverage rh --cortex --glmdir rh.mono_EnglishParityRT_age_gender_TIV_100.glmdir
2. The FSGD file (if using one)
3. And the design matrix above
I am also attaching the FSGD file.
