The problem is that hettest isn't designed to run after areg. You
should estimate with one of the newer xt commands and then test for
heteroskasticity either according to the following FAQ:
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/panel.html
or using Kit Baum's xttest3.
You can find out more about these if you try
findit heteroskedasticity panel
from within Stata.
