As far as I can remember, you need to duplicate, combine and then merge the verts. Once thats done delete the history and then attempt the conversion.
If its not that and I am talking ****, then reset the settings in the poly to subd options and ensure there are no non manifold faces on the model by running the clean up tool.

It will then hilite the areas you'll need to fix...
Any mesh will convert to a subd no mater its state as long as the geometry is clean and the max face count is the same or above that in the modify>poly to subd menu
