Firstly, it does help if the exact commands are given, rather than your 
choice of them. I think the main issue here is that a polylist object is a 
list of matrices with attributes, not a matrix. If your polylist object 
is:

x <- Map2poly(read.shape("my.shp"))

what is length(x)? If it is 1, you may be able to say x[[1]] to extract 
the first matrix in the list, but even then it may not work. If you can 
show us the commands you are giving, and the length of your polylist 
object, it should be possible to find something that works.
