Figured out the answer, though it wasn't obvious (to me anyway).  The symbol
"#" used as the first column label was the problem.   I changed that to be
"id" and changed the read.table to be:

snortalerts <- read.table( "/Users/lcox/Documents/test2.csv", header=TRUE,
sep=",", row.names="id")

and it worked fine.
