Reading the R for Windows FAQs helps:

"2.14 R can't find my file, but I know it is there!

How did you specify it? Backslashes have to be doubled in R character 
strings, so for example one needs 
"d:\\rw1081\\library\\xgobi\\scripts\\xgobi.bat". Make life easier for 
yourself by using forward slashes as path separators: they do work under 
Windows."
