st: Boosted regression

Dear Stata Users
I am trying to use boosted regression in STATA 11, following the example set by Shenyang Guo to conduct some Propensity Score Analysis.
I have included Guo's example code and output and my problem code below. The influence should add up to 100%, but mine is 0% and one variable has no influence recorded. the variables are a mixture of continuous, dichotomous and ordinal variables, and service (and kuse) are treatment (Y/N) variables.
Any thoughts??
Thanks
Meg
Test Example
Code
boost kuse pcg_adc age97 mratio96 pcged97 black, distribution(logistic) maxiter(1000) trainfraction(0.8) pred(ps) int er(4) shrink(.0005) influence
Output
influence
Distribution=logistic
predict=ps
Trainfraction=.8 Shrink=.0005 Bag=.5 maxiter=1000 Interaction=4
Fitting ...
Assessing Influence ...
Predicting ...
bestiter= 1000
Test R2= .13907204
trainn= 802
Train R2= .18065613
Influence of each variable (Percent):
pcg_adc 4.75571
age97 1.4344578
mratio96 88.972091
pcged97 2.9557829
black 1.8819586
