st: Oblique Rotation returns no correlation between factors?

Dear Statalisters!
I doing some research using factor analysis (principle axis factoring)
using categorical data. I have used polychoric correlations to correct for
the categorical variables problem. But now when I try to rotate obliquely
using "oblimin" and use "estat common" to find the correlation between
factors, Stata returns that there is 0 correlation, which is very strange.
I have tried different extraction methods and different rotation methods
and yet I still find no correlation. Any suggestions?
Thanks you,
