st: Margins after cmp mprobit

Hi everyone,
I am using Stata 13.1 on a mac, and I am running a Heckman multinomial probit using -cmp- (SJ, SSC) and I’m trying to get the marginal effects on the probabilities of all the choices. The syntax I use for the -cmp- command is the following
cmp (MultiGive = $x2, iia) (FamGiveDum = $x2), ind(FamGiveDum*$cmp_mprobit $cmp_probit) vce(cluster StateID) qui
The problem I’m having is with the marginal effects on the probability of the first choice in the multinomial probit, i.e. the one that -cmp- takes as the base option. It simply returns zero for all marginal effects. The syntax I’m using to try and get to these marginal effects is
margins, dydx(*) predict(eq(_outcome_1_1) pr)
For the other two possible outcomes and for the selection equation I have no problem in getting the marginal effects, but for that one it doesn’t.
Any suggestions?
