For the first level analysis, the first N beta weights correspond to the 
N conditions in the paradigm file. The rest are nuisance variables.

Is that  from a group analysis?

If this is from a group analysis, then there should already be a file 
there (something.y.ocn.dat) that has a value for each subject in the 
rows and a value for each cluster in the columns.

try this
plot(X.runflac(1).flac.ev(2).tirf, X.runflac(1).flac.ev(2).Xirf)
