I haven't looked at the Sweave sources, so I don't know why a relative 
path is needed, but I think you can probably use the LaTeX \input 
command (or possibly \include, but it sounds as though \input is better) 
rather than SweaveInput.  You would use SweaveInput if the file includes 
markup that needs to be processed by Sweave.  If it's just some .tex to 
include, let LaTeX do it.
