My parents had exactly the same problem last time they were there. They 
went to the nearest Post Office, where the staff have a similar stamp to the
ones used by the custums people. They managed to get their passport stamped
(without charge), and the stamp was put into the pasport with a great deal
of care so that it came out clearly and in the right orentation, unlike most
stamps you get at any border post.

Moral. If the Customs people do not stamp your passport. Get it done at the
       nearest Post Office.
