[R-sig-Geo] Problem reading a HDF5 file with readGDAL in Windows

I will check it later.

This is the error the CRAN build gives (though it's actually not

Exactly. And if I run traceback() after it, I find that it's the
'GDAL.open' function that is giving the error. In the error message I see
that the 'normalizePath' function is changing the variable name. For
example, if I use a file with a variable named "//DSSF", it gives:
"C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpsD81tO\HDF5:201407291200:\DSSF"

Thanks

Oscar.
