Only a suggestion ,do some of the pins need taping as they do for some Canon lenses
but hang on a really clever person will turn up with the answer

If you switch the camera body focus selector to manual do you still get an error?

It may well be worth posting a question on Nikoniams Forum.

thats only with teleconverters normally

have you tried cleaning the contacts on the lens and camera body (a pencil eraser works well) - i'm a canon user so dont have any direct experience with the D200 but dirty contacts account for a number of error messages on canons and i wouldnt imagine that nikons are immune

If I read your question correctly, you have to set this up via D200 menu. See the following link: -
