Census crosswalk translate tract boundaries: error 609 xp format? unsupported cross product format

I am using the LTDB (http://www.s4.brown.edu/us2010/Resea...d/Default.aspx) crosswalk to translate Census 2000 tract boundaries into 2010 boundaries. I am encountering the following error:

(note: you are using old merge syntax; see [D] merge for new syntax)
file C:\Users\meghank\Documents\Dissertation\Data\2004_ HMDA\HMDA_2004_CROSSWALK_TO_2010.do xp format r(609);

I spoke to John Logan who owns the program and he says the "old merge syntax" error should not prevent the rest of the program to run. I think it is the "xp format r(609)" error instead. Error 609 = The designated file is stored in an unsupported cross-product format. So it seems the crosswalk is somehow saved in an incompatible format. It is a "do" file. I don't know anything further about the format or how to find that out.

How do I fix this? I need this crosswalk to run my data. I am specifically running the crosswalk to translate the track boundaries and not to interpolate variables, which is why I leave counts, median weights, etc. empty.
Thank you
