Did you follow these instructions?:

Before starting AHT, be sure to disconnect all external devices except
the keyboard, mouse, display, and Ethernet adapter. Also disconnect any
external optical drives.

Do you have a recovery partition installed on this computer? You can
tell quickly by entering the following command in a terminal window:

diskutil list

If you see "Apple_Boot Recovery HD" listed under the /dev/disk0 entry,
then you do have a recovery partition on the startup drive.

Did you specifically run the "Verify Disk" function (not the "Verify
Disk Permissions" function)? What is the verbatim output?
