This can indicate that you are trying to modify the record in the after update, which is not allowed.

you could write a simple debug statement to see if your workflow field update is occuring before the before update or after the after.

i don't know the order off hand.

it will help to understand what operations you are performing in each step trigger.

With any error message, it is important to know what statement you were executing when the error occured.

Do you have testMethods which isolate the issue?
