Frederick,

Freesurfer uses FSL's motion correction tool 'flirt'.  FSL v3.2 is
distributed with Freesurfer, which is a bit out of date.

You can download and use the newest FSL if you like.  Just set the
environment var FSL_DIR before calling Freesurfer setup, like this:

  setenv FSL_DIR /whereever/you/installed/fsl
  source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.csh

You could even delete the $FREESURFER_HOME/fsl directory if you want to
save space.
