xtserial uses a regression in first differences. What do you get if you 

summ D.x D.y D.z  ??

It could be that you do not have the 'delta' parameter on asset correct, so that indeed there are no observations on the differenced series. This does not stop xtreg,fe, but it will prevent a regression in FDs from working.
