[R] nlme package dependencies?

Dear R-help,
The following nlme example, from help(Variogram.gls), does not work on my
system.  

> data(BodyWeight)
> fm1 <- gls(weight ~ Time * Diet, BodyWeight)
> Variogram(fm1, form = ~ Time | Rat)[1:10,]
Error in FUN(X[[1]], ...) : unused argument(s) (method ...)

It looks like I might not have loaded a necessary package.  I did load nls
and lattice (the latter not actually being listed in the package description
as a dependency).  I checked the R-help archives thoroughly and also
examined the library nlme scripts.  The chapter 5 Wheat2 example from
Pinheiro & Bates (2000) didn't work either:

> library( nlme )
> library( lattice )
> data( Wheat2 )
> fm1Wheat2 <- gls( yield ~ variety - 1, Wheat2 )
> Variogram( fm1Wheat2, form = ~ latitude + longitude )
Error in as.data.frame.default(x[[i]], optional = TRUE) : 
        can't coerce array into a data.frame

Apologies; here is my system information:

> R.version
         _              
platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch     x86

Thanks.  R is great.
