[Mne_analysis] [python read_inverse_operator()] Can not find parent MRI location

I had the same problem using 2.7.3-3268 and mne-python v 0.3-1 with my
data, although it worked fine with the sample dataset.

After switching to 2.7.4-3357, the sample dataset still works, but with my
own data now I get an error about the MRI RAS transformation matrix:
File
"/na/homes/jhouck/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mne-0.3-py2.6.egg/mne/source_estimate.py",
line 799, in save_stc_as_volume
    affine = np.dot(src[0]['mri_ras_t']['trans'], affine)
KeyError: 'mri_ras_t'

I checked with mne_collect_transforms and this transform was present in all
of the MRI sets for my subject, as well as in talairach.xfm, but not in
T1.mgz. I applied it to that file using mri_add_xform_to_header but still
see the same error.  Does that transfomation matrix need to exist in T1.mgz
before the source space and inverse solution are made?

Thanks,

Jon
