What does the command

R.home()

print in an R session on your system? Can you add "/etc/Rprofile.site" 
to the end, and read the file?  For example, on my system I see

 > R.home()
[1] "F:\\R\\R-2.6.1"

and see

 > readLines("F:\\R\\R-2.6.1/etc/Rprofile.site")
  [1] "# Things you might want to change" 

  [2] "" 

  [3] "# options(papersize=\"a4\")" 

  [4] "# options(editor=\"notepad\")"
