Yes I get the errors too. There are several problems in the arrayQuality
package and the maintainers have not updated the package in some time. 
I have cc'd them on this message in case they are interested in
addressing them.

I'm not sure which quality measures you are interested in. If
arrayQualityMetrics doesn't have what you need you may want to look at
the capabilities of the limma package. See the Linear Models for
Microarray Data User's Guide, Chapter 5 Quality Control.

The marray package would be another place to look.
