David,

Version 14 of SPSS doesn't seem to have made any changes to the .sav file 
format.  Therefore read.spss should work as it has.  I haven't had any 
problems importing data files created in SPSS 14.0.

Problems can arise when importing data files created by the SPSS Data Entry 
product (currently at version 4.0), and this is covered in the R Data 
Import/Export manual.
