If you scroll to the bottom of the Stata syntax file for creating the def 3 unmet need variable (v626a), you will see instructions for tabbing this variable. I assume these same instructions are available in the SPSS syntax file.
The indicator, as reported in StatCompiler, uses currently married women as the denominator. It appears that you neglected to restrict the tab to married women. I just opened the Benin & Burkina files, ran the do file to create the variable and tabbed it. When I did not put any restriction by marital status, I got your results:
Benin:
gen wt=v005/100000
. tab v626a [iw=wt]

But I get matching StatCompiler data when I restrict it to currently married women:

. tab v626a if v502==1 [iw=wt], m

Hope this helps!
