Do the lines

> treatment:variety:soilgroup - missing
Actually appear in your output? If so, I have no idea.
But if the terms are simply absent, one possibility is that soilgroup is
completely confounded with an earlier factor in the model and therefore
unidentifiable. aov seems fairly tolerant of that in one sense - instead of
throwing an error and stopping it tells you what it can identify and leaves out
anything it can't.
