If you call spm_realign with output (left-hand) arguments, then no rp_*.txt
file is saved.  You could create a save_parameters.m file, containing:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
function save_parameters(V)
fname = [spm_str_manip(prepend(V(1).fname,'rp_'),'s') '.txt'];
n = length(V);
Q = zeros(n,6);
for j=1:n,
        qq     = spm_imatrix(V(j).mat/V(1).mat);
        Q(j,:) = qq(1:6);
end;
save(fname,'Q','-ascii');
return;
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

and derive the values from your realigned images:

    P = spm_get(Inf,'*.IMAGE','Select realigned images');
    save_parameters(spm_vol(P))
