[R] Using a covariance matrix as input to relaimpo package

[Ku!Rt]

I'm having trouble getting the relaimpo package to use a covariance matrix as
input.  I'm getting an error message that reads as follows:

Error in eval(m$weights, data, parent.frame()) : 
  numeric 'envir' arg not of length one

I'm guessing there is something wrong with the structure of my covariance
matrix, but it looks fine to me.  Pardon my R ignorance if this is an easy
error message to decipher.  Below is my code.

# calculate covariance matrix from survey respondent data using pairwise
deletion
covmatrx =
cov(respdata[,c("V0007","V0029","V0031","V0032","V0034","V0035","V0036")],
use = "pairwise")
> 

# show the resulting covariance matrix
> covmatrx
