Hi Steven,
I thought that the problem might be in the two large numbers, but
using a subset (I didn't want to edit out all the line numbers), I get
what I expected:

sydf<-read.table(text="Mean   Std.dev
 [1,]  0.3107966  0.462820
 [2,]  0.1880302  0.390736
 [3,] 45.3185794 16.313635
 [4,]  0.5066370  0.499956
 [5,]  0.4933630  0.499956
 [6,]  0.7029150  0.456974
 [7,]  0.2970850  0.456974
 [8,]  0.7967066  0.402449
 [9,]  0.2032934  0.402449",
stringsAsFactors=FALSE,header=TRUE)
> print(sydf,digits=2)
     Mean Std.dev
[1,]  0.31    0.46
[2,]  0.19    0.39
[3,] 45.32   16.31
[4,]  0.51    0.50
[5,]  0.49    0.50
[6,]  0.70    0.46
[7,]  0.30    0.46
[8,]  0.80    0.40
[9,]  0.20    0.40

I don't think it is your use of "cbind", but I didn't edit out Mean
and Std.dev and try it.
