That code was designed for R2014a or before. If you look at line 25 of the source of rest_progress.m at http://resting-fmri.sourceforge.net/Publish_REST_html/rest_20080302.0722/rest_progress.html you will see
   elseif isnumeric(whichbar)
however, graphic object handles are no longer numeric. The test should be at least
   elseif isnumeric(whichbar) || ishghandle(whichbar)
It would not surprise me if there are other places in the code that assume some things about graphics that are no longer true.
