Gang,
Just to follow-up, I noticed something with the model I posted for 3dLME. I think the model "time*score" problem is having the same values for the 1st level of time in my model. If I change subject 1's value to 1 and keep the remaining values 0 for level one of Time, then 3dLME executes.
For example:
This works
3dLME -prefix LME_output -jobs 7 \
model "time*score" \
-qVars "score" \
-SS_type 3 \
-ranEff '~1' \
-mask mask+tlrc \
-dataTable \

So, is this a bug or a statistical issue of the model? If I pull data from one voxel and run the same model in SPSS I can get main effects for score, time, and score*time interaction.
Big picture wise, the concern is not having the full model vs. only having the interaction term in the model. With ANOVA's you usually get main effect and interaction terms from your result.
Thanks.
