Catherine, Is your SUBJECTS_DIR enviro var setup properly prior to starting qdec? That is, set to your own writable subjects directory? I noticed in the error message that it looks like the subjects dir is the default one under the /freesurfer dir, which is read-only.
One option is to put this line at the top of your qdec.table.dat file: SUBJECTS_DIR /path/to/my/subjects so that you dont have to remember to set it prior to starting qdec. Also, age would be a continuous var even if its an integer, discrete is what we assign to classes like male/female or patient/control.
