Assuming you are using Stata 12, you might want to try dropping the -xi:- prefix to your command. You'll still want to keep the -i.- prefix for your variables.

The problem (it seems to me) is that STATA does not recognize the variables for purposes of the margins command that were generated using xi. logit and I don't know any other way of doing this. It also seems from all of the examples online that this should work.
