OK, this is a bug in 4.5 in which it ignores the nskip option. This is 
fixed in version 5.0. If you need to continue with 4.5, you can use a 
tpexclude file to remove the 1st two time points, something like:

echo "0 2" > 100524AK_infIPS/bold/007/tpexclude.dat
echo "0 2" > 100524AK_infIPS/bold/014//tpexclude.dat

mkanalysis-sess -analysis infIPS.new -TR 2 -paradigm loc.dat -designtype 
blocked -funcstem fmc -motioncor -inorm  -nconditions 2 -timewindow 20 
-gammafit 2.25 1.25 -noautostimdur -tpexclude tpexclude.dat

I have verified that this works with your data.
