Hi Cathy,

it must be something else (I think). The mris_calc command looks weird 
("--label  " looks like the label is not passed, but a space instead, it 
then thinks 'mul' is a file).

qdecfinal is your qdec table? Make sure it contains only spaces to 
separate the fields. It should have at least these columns
fsid fsid-base time

also in your command below, why are there "?" before do-label and time?

Unless you want to use the stack (within subject stack of thickness 
values), I would drop the --do-stack (maybe also drop do-avg or whatever 
else you don't need).

For debugging, I would create a directory, place a single subject there, 
create a new qdec table with only that subject and try again there. If 
it still happens , let me know.

Best, Martin
