[Gmsh] boundaries with gmshToFoam

hello, 
  
I try to generate a mesh for use in OpenFoam  by gmshToFoam conversion, but I alwas get the warning:
 
--> FOAM Warning :
    From function polyMesh::polyMesh(... construct from shapes...)
    in file meshes/polyMesh/polyMeshFromShapeMesh.C at line 576
    Found 28864 undefined faces in mesh; adding to default patch.
Finding faces of patch 0
Finding faces of patch 1
Finding faces of patch 2
--> FOAM Warning : Not using gmsh face 4(1446 14016 14017 1447) since zero vertex is not on boundary of polyMesh
.........
 
However i got polymesh directory with all files. but the faces or boundaries are not reading. 
patches in boundary files are even taking nFace=0 even if startface#0 in some patches. 
it seems to be arbitrary because i change many times the order and the way to define the physical surface and the result is different  all the time.

here attached my script. and checkMesh outline.  
 

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks
