Generally the SVD in these sorts of situations does not return the entire set of three matrices. Instead either the left or right (but usually the right) eigenvectors premultiplied by the diagonal or the square root of the diagonal element.
I can't comment specifically on your situation, but hopefully knowing that the algorithm isn't supposed to return all three matrices will help you.
