We get these kind of reports occasionally. When I ask people to confirm 
that they use exactly the same design matrix in SPSS, I never hear back, 
so I assume that it gets resolved. So please check. The other thing you 
can do is to run in matlab, something like

cd glmdir/contrast
X = load('Xg.dat');
y = load('ocn.dat');
C = load('C.dat');
[beta rvar] = fast_glmfit(y,X);
[F p] = fast_fratio(beta,X,rvar,C);
p will be the p-value

If you used an unsigned cluster-forming threshold (ie, abs), then it is 
possible that some of the voxels are pos and some are neg so that they 
average out
