The solution below works just fine. In a separate post I offered a
method that uses only PolarPlot. It seems to me that one should not have
to convert to cartesian coordiantes at all in order to do this kind of
filling. The underlying trouble, of course, is that Mathematica does not
currently include a Filling option for PolarPlot or ParametricPlot.
