While I can make some guesses as to what is going on here, it would be helpful to see your script (or the relevant parts) and the output of 3dinfo -verb YourROIDataset+tlrc. How did you create your ROIs?
That said, it sounds like you are using 3dmaskave, which can work with the "newer" range selectors. If you wish to only extract values for an ROI that has a value of 3, you could do something like this:
3dmaskave -mask ROI+tlrc'<3>' dataset+tlrc
