Dear Hugh

1 - Your post is unreadable because you posted in HTML so it will be very difficult for anyone to see your V

2 - there is a separate mailing list for meta-analysis in R where you may get more helpful responses as it is monitored by authors of most of the main packages. Please see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-meta-analysis// and remember to register first.

cannot figure out, I am getting an "All list elements in 'V' must be square 
matrices".  Below is my V matrix, which I believe is square:

I get the error running as a multivariate rma.  If I run as a simple rma, I get 
a non-positive sampling variances error message (but the correlations are all 
at least between 0 and 1).

Any help is greatly appreciated.
