As far as I know, glm only works with dichotomous or count data.  polr in
the MASS package works and so does lrm {Design} for ordinal dependent
variables.  I would assume that the model produced by glm is a dichotomous
version of your model but not sure.  Only one intercept would be given
because if you used the log link then it would have produced a dichotomous
model instead of an ordered logistic regression.  My suggestion is to use
polr or lrm.
