I just downloaded -outtable- and got the same problems you did.  However, 
it also came with -outtable7- (meant for version 7 of Stata) and it seemed 
to work fine (at least it didn't produce an error and it did produce an 
output file; I don't know if that file is correct though).

So, make sure you have the latest versions of -outtable- and see if 
-outtable7- will do what you want.  Perhaps some recent change in Stata has 
inadvertently broken the newer -outtable- command.
