You did not say what the problem was!
But you are asking that an object which is not in scope (index) be found a
few levels down. You should be able to fix this by substituting in the
values in fn. Here is one way:
up.obj <- update(object, data = data[index[, i], ])
Call <- up.obj$call
Call$data <- data[index[, i], ]
up.obj$call <- Call
(there are others).
