Can you please test [recon-all -all -clean-bm -s subjid] with one of your subjects in 5.1 (with brain.finalsurfs.manedit.mgz in your subject's mri directory)? If it does work, then at least we can rule out that version 5.1 does not have a bug and I can troubleshoot on my end. If that does not work, then I will send you the files (will save us all some time).

I'd like to look at your case if I can to try to figure it out. If you'd rather not send the case, I'll try some testing on this end to see if I can replicate it.
