multiprod error

I used the multiprod command to "multiple" two matrices:
A of size 1 x m x m x m
B of size m x 1 x k_1 x k_2 ... x k_m
In any case, I've used this command before without any problem. However, when I added an extra dimension to the matrix B it yields the following error:
Error using bsxfun Non-singleton dimensions of the two input arrays must match each other.
Any help would be much appreciated.

What would be the dimension of the final result you are looking for?
There is no multiprod command in MATLAB. Perhaps you are referring to the MATLAB File Exchange contribution http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/8773-multiple-matrix-multiplications-with-array-expansion-enabled ?

Thanks for the response everyone. Yes - I am referring to the multiprod command from the File Exchange. The resulting dimensions should be an m x m x k_1 x...x k_m. Thanks

Given the resulting dimension, I don't understand how the result is supposed to be formed. Suppose the result is C. Can you write an explicit expression for how you expect the m x m part of the result C to be formed? I.e., fill in the blanks for one of the m x m part results:
C(:,:,______) = A(_____) * B(______)
How do the initial 1 x m dimension of A and the initial m x 1 dimension of B figure into this?
