@Robert, I don't think that -xtivreg- permits FE models with robust or
clustered SEs. From the help file:

 FE_options           description
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Model
      fe                 use fixed-effects estimator
      regress            treat covariates as exogenous and ignore
instrumental variables

    SE
      vce(vcetype)       vcetype may be conventional, bootstrap, or jackknife

I suggest checking out -xtivreg2- from SSC, which provides these SE options.
