I test ran it with the symbolic link. 
the symbolink link is:

I'm in the DROPBOX_MJMRI directory and have set the subjects_directory to the 
current directory
 pwd

export SUBJECTS_DIR=$PWD
I start qdec
qdec opens okay. but i'm getting some errors inside:


 After I load the Data table file  and press "Generate Stats tables"
I goto to the"  design" tab and select my discrete factors

and press "Analyze"
 
i get the message on the command line:
