   From the R for Windows FAQ...

R can't find my file, but I know it is there!

How did you specify it? Backslashes have to be doubled in R 
character strings, so for example one needs 
"d:\\rw1081\\library\\xgobi\\scripts\\xgobi.bat". Make life 
easier for yourself by using forward slashes as path separators: 
they do work under Windows.
