Based on the error message and the symptom that the link doesn't work, 
I'd assume that the alias isn't being recognized.  You could confirm 
this by seeing whether ?plot.check.these.par works in the R console.

Do any of the other aliases in that file work?  Maybe there's something 
wrong with the whole file.
