The elements in sampleTable$countFile aren't proper paths to the files
where the count data are stored.

Try:

R> file.exists(sampleTable$countFile)

This is likely because you have a relative path encoded in
`sampleTable$countFile` and it is incorrect given the directory R is
running in (which is `getwd()`)

Perhaps you can fix it by putting absolute file paths in
`sampleTable$countFile` or starting R from a more appropriate
directory.
