Hi Jessica,
Leandro Magnusson and I recently fixed a bug in -rivtest- when weights
are used. I'm not sure if this is causing the deviation, but it's
worth verifying. I've submitted the revision to the Stata Journal, but
in the meantime you can download the revision using "net from
http://econ.tulane.edu/kfinlay";.
Hope that helps,
Keith
