[BioC] sampleSheet problem in beadArray

[Christine Stansberg [guest]]

Dear all,

this is my first time with bead array and i have been struggling with the sampleSheet for a while now, see error message below (...directory does not exist). I am trying to read bead level intensities from one Human HT12 chip, without the images, using readIllumina. If i omit the sampleSheet, BeadArray is able to read my data, so they should be OK. I am also able to read the data from the BeadArrayUseCases - including the sampleSheet. I have taken great care to make sure my sampleSheet-file is identical to the one from the UseCase, but still i get the error message reported below. 

I am really frustrated and cannot understand why my file does not work when the UseCase one does and would be really grateful for comments.

Best,
Christine
