I'm trying to do a permutation test in Stata and just can't seem to
get the syntax right. Here's my command:
permute norm_qty permt=r(t), strata(group) : ttest norm_qty,
by(group)

According to the help file, "strata(varlist) specifies that the permutations
be performed within each stratum defined by the values of varlist."
Here, you will want to permute across strata, and not within them, so delete
the "strata(group)" from your syntax.
permute norm_qty permt=r(t): ttest norm_qty, by(group)
You'll probably want more than the default number of permutations, too.
