One thing to watch for that hung me (and R :-) ) up for a while is: make
sure your .Rprofile doesn't have any commands which are valid only in
interactive sessions.  I had "loadhistory()" which caused the worker
Rscript.exe to fail.  Replacing that line in .Rprofile with  
"if(interactive()) loadhistory() "  and all was well.
