I just stuck the error function call in the if block and it worked.

if((fp = fopen(stretchesFile, "w")) == NULL) {
error(1, errno, "could not open file %s", stretchesFile);
exit(1);
}

Thanks again for your help!!

For my 2 cents worth exit(1) isn't portable. Try exit(EXIT_FAILURE) from
stdlib.h. For me it has made the difference between a working and non
working program.
