// Warning: Nothing is selected. Select objects or components to delete. //
// Error: polyToSubdiv1 (Poly To Subdiv Node): One or more edges is nonmanifold.
// Nonmanifold geometry cannot be converted to a subdivision surface.
// To clean up nonmanifold edges, use Mesh->Cleanup with the nonmanifold option. //

Basically this means that one or two of your edges arent joined from where youve edited the mesh at some point or other.

Basically select cleanup from the edit poly menu and run it, this will hilite any geometry thats incorrect. Then its usually a case of merging the points in tose areas and then delete your history. Should all be fine by then.
