Couldn't hurt to click the fix bad geometry icon.
Triangulate mite fix the holes automatically.
there is not a hole when you look at the mesh but even thou it looks
like one mesh parts of the mesh our not connected even thou it looks
like it is.
This makes nGones.
nGon is a polygon with more then 4 sides.
Your mesh should only have Tri's Quad polygons.
copy the mesh for testing.
Boolean cause these holes.the holes well be on the seem of the Boolean.
to find the holes click the quad divide there will be parts that don't
divide that's the hole part.

Subject: Re: [TSML] Ok, Help!
I found Solidify, but it didn't do what I needed. (It will however, come
in
handy later.)
It's a curious problem, maybe I should try to describe it some.
Basically, I was trying to build an ice tea glass as a prop for Poser. I
took a basic cylinder, stretched it out a little, copied it, scaled the
copy
down just a little and Boolean subtracted it from the first cylinder,
leaving behind a big hole. After some cosmetic alterations to make it
more
drinking-glass like, (which don't seem to affect the end result in
creating
this problem) I try to export it using the luuv plugin so I can have an
OBJ
file for my trouble. The plugin tells me that there are holes in the
model,
do I want to proceed? The thing is I can't /see/ any holes, at least
nothing
I can so identify. Saving anyway and importing it to Poser, my drinking
glass is there, but for some reason the open end isn't open anymore, it
has
a face stretched across it. Importing it back into trueSpace yields the
same
result. The COB file doesn't look out of the ordinary at all.
No matter how many times I follow this procedure, I get the same result.
Obviously, something is happening that I can't recognize, although I
haven't
exhausted all my efforts in trying to find the problem yet. I had hoped
by
finding the "Fix Holes" plugin I think I remember I could resolve this
faster, but it looks like I'm going to have to keep going down this
path.
Did I describe this well enough? I can take some screen shots if it'll
help...
