I know what that error probably is... very last part of step #3, "delete the original polyline". Once you extrude, the polyline becomes effectively invisible, so you can't see it, but it's still there running along the edge of the faces.

Since it's a 2D shape, it can't be greebled. If you find the dead shape and delete it (may be easier if you select everything and click the "poly' button above the materials palette), that error should go away.

EDIT: for the curious... leaving the polyline doesn't really hurt anything, it's just wasted polys.
