I can really only comment on mnc2ana.

I have found that various analyze reading programs expect analyze files to be in
a standard orientation.  Perhaps try this:

   mincreshape -dimorder time,zspace,yspace,xspace in.mnc out.mnc

before converting to analyze.  (ie: the "standard" dimension ordering expected
by analyze.
