Without a way to reproduce the error, I can offer a few bits of generic
advice:

1. Use traceback() to find out where the error happens. You can then
type the name of the function at the R prompt to read its source code
(although most likely without the comments).

2. Even better, set options(error = recover) before running your code
and have the debugger launched at the point where the error happens.
Use the debugger (see help(browser) to look at every variable and find
out why indeed lst[[nam]] doesn't seem to contain rows with names
intersect(tim, rownames(lst[[nam]])) and/or columns with names `cols`.

3. See the free book The R Inferno
<https://www.burns-stat.com/documents/books/the-r-inferno/> for more
advice on debugging R code.
