Yes, I think it does require a surface as input.  You can generate it in the 
GUI, like you cite below, or you can see if you can get this to work, toggling 
off 1-6 and toggling on what you need in 7-17.  I never used this much, and I'm 
not sure it will work in your case, but the fact that it takes an input 
segmentation volume is encouraging.

      caret_command -volume-segment  
         <input-anatomy-volume-file-name>
         <input-segmentation-volume-file-name>
         <spec-file-name>

               write-volume-type   Type of volume files to write. 
                  Specifies the type of the volume files that will be written
