I'm confused -- do you have a \version "1.x.y" inside your file?  If not, why 
not
add that and let convert-ly do its stuff?

I just did a quick test (on 1.6.6) and \voiceOne makes stems up.  What version
are you using?  Maybe you used the \voiceOne command somewhere where Lilypond
wasn't expecting it.  Both \voiceOne and \voiceTwo work well on my system.
(debian/testing, Lilypond 1.6.6)
