So /home/dir/subject/subname/scripts does not exist? If so that is wrong. What happens if you
mkdir /home/dir/subject/subname/scripts

        Hi Bruce,
        subject's folder is empty,  there is no scripts folder, or
        anything else.
        Again if I omit -expert everything works fine.

        Thanks

              what happens if you run:

              ls -l /home/dir/subject/subname/scripts/expert-options
              touch /home/dir/subject/subname/scripts/expert-options

                    Dear all,
                    I'm trying to pass the following flags for
                    mri_normalize through -expert
                    flag in recon-all, with a file, named expert.opts
                    with the following single
                    line:
                    mri_normalize -b 20 -n 5

                    my command line is:

                    recon-all -i inputfile -subject subname -all -expert
        <pathname>/expert.opts

                    I receive the following error:

                    cp: cannot create regular file:
                    '/home/dir/subject/subname/scripts/expert-options'

                    The directory of the subject has been created, but
                    it is completely empty.
                    At first glance I thought it might be some sort of
                    permission problems,
                    however I have rwx permission for all the paths
                    (even running under the root
                    username the same error comes up). Secondly, I
                    checked my disk quota, it is
                    completely fine. Please note that, if I do not pass
                    -expert flag recon-all
                    works completely fine.

                    Any input is much appreciated.

                    Regards,
                    James
