Katrina, I made some changes to accomidate gbm's new feature for 3+ categories, then had to "harmonize" how gbm and caret work together.
I have a new version of caret that is not released yet (maybe within a month), but you should get it from: install.packages("caret", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") You may also need to ungrade gbm. That package page is: https://code.google.com/p/gradientboostedmodels/downloads/list Let me know if you have any issues.
