Yes. I suspect you've nailed the problem on the head with your last 
comment.
It appears that, though you have version 8 installed, you have the 
command interpreter (inadvertently?) set to version 7.

an easy check: use the -version- command, without an argument.

If Stata displays "version 7.0"

then type
  version 8
