I'm puzzled. Possibly,
set trace on
estwrite ...
will shed some light on the issue (can you send me a copy of the output?).

-eststo- maintains global macro $eststo. You could type
. global eststo $eststo `r(names)'
after -estread- to update the macro.
Alternatively, just provide the names of the estimation sets to
-estout- or -esttab-. For example,
. estout *
will tabulate all available estimation sets. To see a list of all
available estimation sets, type -estimates dir-.
