[R] Referencing to an object within a function

I am encountering an error when I attempt to reference a glm model
within a function. The function uses the segmented.glm command
(package = segmented). Within the segmented.glm command one specifies
an object, in this case a logistic regression model, and specifies a
starting threshold term (psi). I believe this is an environment
problem, but I do not have a solution. Any assistance would be
greatly appreciated. The function is as follows:
> colonization <- function(x,y){
library(segmented)
col <- subset(final,final[,x] == 2 | final[,x] == 4)
col[,x] <- ifelse(col[,x] == 2,1,0)
glm1 <- glm(col[,x]~col[,"PLAND"],family=binomial)
glm2 <- segmented.glm(obj = glm1, seg.Z = ~PLAND, psi=y, it.max = 100)
}
> colonization("PIWO",48)
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object "x" not found
Thank you.
