R help - Oct 2012 - Error message with the effects package - 'Subscript out of bounds'

I am using the effects package to construct some probability graphs showing
the predicted probabilities from a logistic regression model.
However, I get an odd error message and don't know what the issue is.


When I attempt to generate the plots, I get the following error:

dat$won_ping = as.factor(dat$won_ping)

mod2 = glm(won_ping ~ our_bid +
  age_of_oldest_driver2 +
  credit_type2 +
  coverage_type2 +
  home_owner2 +
  vehicle_driver_score +
  currently_insured2 +
  zipcode2,
  data=dat, family=binomial(link="logit"))
> plot(effect("our_bid*home_owner2", mod2), rescale.axis=FALSE,
multiline=TRUE)Warning message:In analyze.model(term, mod, xlevels,
default.levels) :
  our_bid:home_owner2 does not appear in the modelError in
plot(effect("our_bid*home_owner2", mod2), rescale.axis = FALSE,  :
  error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for
function 'plot': Error in apply(mod.matrix[, components], 1, prod) :
  subscript out of bounds



Here's info on my data and my glm commands:

summary(mod2)


And finally, here might be some useful info:
