when I run the arch command I get an arch model returned and can see that it
is significant. Furthermore, when I run the arch command through the gui I
get the same model returned and I can estimate using fcasterr through the
gui to my hearts content. I'm not at the computer where I am running the
model right now, but when I am I will try and get you some output.

The arch command is a bit unusual (this should be probably be
changed): it's a test, plus ARCH estimation _if_ the test if
significant. I suspect that in the case you're talking about the
ARCH effect is not significant, so no ARCH model is actually
returned.
