Sounds like you don't have many degrees of freedom left.  Looking at Mood, Graybill & Boes (1974), I see that a t(df=5, p=0.10) = 2.015 -- so you must have something close to that in terms of df.  The robust & cluster options will further use up degrees of freedom which I guess is one of the costs of using it.

Hope this helps.  You might want to paste in your output (the relevant parts) in a subsequent posting if it appears I'm not getting your inquiry.
