The error message means that join() expected the list to contain
strings, but it found a list instead.

There must be something else happening that you're not telling us.
Running that join expression on the lists you quoted works just fine.
Either the lists contain something other than what you claim, or the
expression you're using is different in reality.

We can't help you if you don't post the code you're running.
