This exact same issue has been discussed countless times on this  
mailing list...  =\

Look in the documentation for how to explicitly instantiate voices --  
you need to explicitly instantiate the second voice, i.e. use

    << { \voiceOne } \new Voice { \voiceTwo } >> \oneVoice

exchanging \voiceOne and \voiceTwo, if necessary/appropriate.
