Have a successful script ....

You have not told us the 'at a minimum' information asked for in the 
posting guide, whereas I get (under sh)

sh-3.2$ Rscript -e 'sessionInfo()'
R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24)
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

locale:
LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_GB.utf8;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.utf8;LC_PAPER=en_GB.utf8;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.utf8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  base
sh-3.2$ echo $?
0

so please give a reproducible example of a successful script not 
returning zero.
