st: Permute - error message

Dear friends,
I am trying to conduct a simple randomization inference analysis
(permuting Z - treatment indicator). y1-y10 are outcomes of individual
units within groups identified by the id variable. The number of units
within groups varies from 3 to 10. In the original data 3 groups are
treated (z=1) and 5 are control (z=0).
For some reason whether I am using the permute command or the
user-written "tsrtest" command (by Kaiser and Lacy) I get error
messages which I fail to correct. Any suggestions on how to get this
code running would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Guy
