Dear Adrian, I think the problem is rather obvious: plotMDS cannot be found. So if this is a function of your own package, you forgot to export it. If it's a function from another package, the package isn't loaded so it should be added as Depends, Imports or Suggests. And when added as Suggests, you need a library() statement in your example to load the function.
But as far as I can judge from the little info you gave, exporting the function should do it.
