Well, the first trick would be to give us a bit more detail on what
version of R you are using (on what operating system) and the versions
of the packages involved.  sessionInfo() is a convenient way to give
us this info.

I suspect that you have a mismatch between your version of R and the
version of (some) packages.  

We are working hard to push out the next release of Bioconductor,
version 1.6 that will be compatible with R 2.1.0 (just released).  In
the mean time, you will need to run R 2.0.1 with Bioc 1.5.

Best,
