Off the top of my head: in the first case the output name is explicit 
(it's the input with "-x" appended to it), in the second you let dinifti 
infer the name from the information in the series and it's probably 
constructing the string incorrectly. I'm particularly puzzled by the 
fact that the first series has some kind of number appended to the name 
and the second does not ... it's almost as if it's trying to use a piece 
of information it does not have. I'll need to look at the code and, as 
usual, it would help if you sent me some sample data, a slice from the 
first series and one from the second should be sufficient.

P.S.: you are not bothering me, you're helping me clean up the code. Thanks.
