[BioC] problem in beadsummary vignette from beadarray

Hi Mark and others,

I was trying to get familiar with the beadarray package, and I was 
going through the beadsummary topic vignette: 
beadarrayUsersGuide(topic = "beadsummary") .  I downloaded the 
example data as indicated in the vignette, and unzipped them into my 
working directory. However, I get a warning when reading in the data 
that it could not reconcile the dataFile with the sampleSheet 
information (full code and sessionInfo() below). This isn't a problem 
for much of the vignette, but the code for section 4 Differential 
Expression no longer works. I looked at the SampleSheet.csv file and 
compared the Sentrix_ID names to those in the columns in 
SampleProbeProfile.txt and they look the same, so I'm not sure why 
the code is no longer working.

Thanks,
Jenny
