Hi

please try not to hide an information

> plot(augPred(fm2c)) 
Error in log(distance) : object "distance" not found

Is it what you have got and what you mean by "does not graph any 
prediction at all"?

If not did you attached Orthodont before?

I suppose plot.augPred probably expects the same name for original 
and and fitted data. You can go through source code to see what 
happens by

nlme:::plot.augPred
