 what does the permission needs to look like in your opinion?
 the way it is now, on both the data file and the R batch file "r.R"
 seem to have all the read permission there is, for the user, group and
 others, unless you wanted to say write permission for group and others
 which are the only lacking from what I see from -rwxr-xr-x

Does /home/fred/R/data/pathtofile/041006 exist, and do you have read 
permission on it?  It doesn't look like it, from the ls above.
