It would help if you stated that you use "mine" Sweave.sh i.e. the one from
http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/scripts/Sweave.sh. I will assume you
do.

I will start with the second problem

Is there a single - or double - i.e. --. If I issue the following

$ Sweave.sh --ld test.Rnw

Run Sweave and postprocess with LaTeX directly from command line

--ld is not a supported file type!
It should be one of: .lyx, .Rnw, .Snw., .nw or .tex

I get the same error.

It seems that chmod did not behave as you expected. First check file
permissions with

ls -l /usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh

On my computer I get

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30K 2008-04-30 11:17 /usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh*

Note that x is there three times i.e. anyone can run this script, the user, the
group and others.

Try with

sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh

and check the file permissions.
