Thanks for the help Tom!

The problem is this.  When I drop the quotes alltogether, R considers the 
$taxFile to be the R input file, not a parameter.  When I put quotes 
around the '$taxFile $taxFile.taxonomy', it picks them up correctly but 
takes them literally, IE expects the $taxFile to have a quote as the first 
character of its filename.

Thanks,
-Josh
