Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

In the MR file the weight is mv005, so I think you want mv005 rather than v005 in the line for sex==1. But maybe you have already renamed mv005....

The steps look ok. As I believe I said earlier, I would be cautious about pooling the MR and IR files. Note that the age range for men is usually not the same as the age range for women.
