Welcome to FlyerTalk!

The general rule as written here:
http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6722,1141,00.html
is:
En route stopovers: No stopovers are permitted on awards wholly within a geographic region. Awards between regions allow one stopover. ’Round-The-World awards allow a maximum of five stopovers.
It may be that your routing is what is causing the problem - there are routing experts here that will chime in I'm sure.
