Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

You did not tell me the name of your new weight variable, but let's say it is "wt". All I can suggest is that after you get that error message, you have a line such as this: "list v001 v002 v003 v005 wt if wt<=0 | wt==., table clean". If you are lucky, this listing will lead you to the problem. Please let me know if this does or does not get you to an answer.
