st: Troubles with shp2dta

Hello, all. I frequently use shp2dta with success. Today, however, I
tried it with a new shapefile and got the error message,
"ProyectoSIG/Zonas.shp: 1point, polyine, or polygon shapefile
required." I'm not sure why I'm getting this message, since my file
is indeed a shapefile and opens fine in, say, ArcGIS. (Of course, the
.shx and .dbf files are also there). Statalist archives suggest a
work-around with shp2mif, but I can't findit (I'm using Stata 10 for
Mac).
Would very sincerely appreciate your input.
Dorothy
