1) Post on the correct list:
https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac

2a) Include sessionInfo()
2b) if not, then at least tell us whether you are running as a  
terminal session or with the GUI.

3a) use file.choose() as your file argument  ... or
3b) click-hold-drag the file icon onto the console ... this should  
create a correct folder/file designation suitable for enclosure within  
quotes.

4) do not spell R functions with all caps.
