Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the -xsvmat- package is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this, or use -adoupdate- if you already have a previous version installed.
The -xsvmat- package is described as below on my website. The new version fixes a bug (discovered today), which caused -xsvmat- to fail when the -rowlabels()- option was specified in the absence of other options for adding extra variables to the output dataset.
Best wishes

TITLE
xsvmat: Convert a matrix to variables in an output dataset
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
xsvmat is an extended version of svmat. It creates an output
dataset (or resultsset), with one observation per row of an
existing matrix, and data on the values of the column entries in
that row, and, optionally, extra variables specified by the user.
The output dataset created by xsvmat may be listed to the Stata
log, or saved to a disk file, or written to the memory (overwriting
any pre-existing dataset).
