Are there data transformations that you can use prior to hypoth testing with MANOVA?  The -lnskew- command does a nice job if you have positively skewed data. Other transformations are often suggested (see Tabachnick & Fidell's Using Multivariate Statistics text, for starters) in situations like this.
