We've run into a weird problem when using the GenericfMRIVolume batch script to 
process more than 2 tasks at a time. When we setup any more than 2 tasks (we've 
tried 3 and 4 tasks), the first 2 run correctly and without error, but any 
after that crash in the TopUp section with the following error (the failed 
tasks all get to the same point):

# RUN TOPUP

Part of FSL (build 506)
topup

Usage:
topup --imain= --datain= --config= --coutname=my_field


Compulsory arguments (You MUST set one or more of):
