I'm not an expert, but I have a guess. My first thought was that you
had to close your polygon, but you say you tried that. My next guess
would be, that you aren't using the correct entity identifier when you
start your shapefile. Polygon (5) vs. polyline (3)?

If this doesn't solve it, you'll probably have to post some sample
code that replicates the problem.

Good luck, hope this is useful.
