Using Matlab Interface for defining the geometry

I try to use the "geomsurf"-function in order to split a cylinder in 2 subdomains. Thereby, I oriented myself on the example given in the "Matlab Interface guide" in the chapter 3D Face Objects. I start and unfortunately already failed with a very simple example by using just the surface of a smaller cylinder as splitting surface (Later on there should be some structure on the surface of the smaller cylinder).
So I start by creating the smaller cylinder
r=2e-7;
[z,phi]=meshgrid(0:1e-8:2e-7,0:pi/32:pi*2);
x=r.*cos(phi);
y=r.*sin(phi);
f=geomsurf(x,y,z);
Creation of the bigger cylinder and building of the composite object
cyl=cylinder3(1.5e-6,2e-7)
g=geomcoerce('solid',{f,cyl});
But if I now try to plot g with
geomplot(g)
I received the warnings
Warning: Face 3 failed to be rendered.
Warning: Face 4 failed to be rendered.
And if I split the object (split(g)) the result contains only 1 subdomain.
Thanks in advance for any hints
