If it occurs after a few iterations (was it verbose=TRUE; sorry, no docs at hand), almost always means that there is no unique solution. Are you sure that your data level out at 1? Or is a normalization factor needed? Try to repost with the original data set if possible. This error message might also turn up when the start values were totally off, so try to plot the curve and the data with the start values. Setting minFactor never helped for me in that case.
