I just tried a simple example in TeXShop and it worked for me.  My 
Sweave engine is

#!/bin/tcsh

# set path= ($path /usr/local/bin)
Rscript -e "patchDVI::SweavePDF(  '$1' )"


So it seems to be work listing versions:  On the Mac, I'm using R 2.15.0 
patched, rev 59478, with patchDVI version 1.8.1584 (I just uploaded 1.9 
to CRAN, by the way), TeXShop version 2.43.

It also works on Windows, where I have current releases of R and 
patchDVI installed.

If you've got current versions of everything installed and it's still 
not working, could you try putting together a small reproducible example?
