[R-sig-Geo] Package MODIS error in runMrt( ) and getHdf - 'Problems with online connections try a little later'

[Marsik,Matthew P]

Hello

I am having trouble running the function runMrt from the package MODIS. This was working as of last Friday morning, 25 Sept. I've done Google searches for help
(https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=r-modis+%22Problems+with+online+connections%22), with no success. Any help would be appreciated!

I have a time series of downloaded MODIS MOD13Q1 hdfs from 2000-2014 for tiles h=09-12, v=05-06 for the southeastern US and stored on a networked drive. I want to process them
clipping to a spatial extent and project them into Albers USGS for the conterminous US with a pixel size of 250 meters. I've set my localArcPath to the networked drive
containing the MOD13Q1 hdf files, and the outDirPath to my local computer's C drive. I've specified the following MODISoptions:

MODIS:::MODISoptions(localArcPath = modis_archive_path, outDirPath = modis_out_path, systemwide=FALSE, save=FALSE, stubbornness=1)

When I execute the following runMrt() function

runMrt(job=job, product=product,
                                begin=begin,
                                end=end,
                                localArcPath=modis_archive_path,
                                outDirPath=modis_out_path,
                                extent=extent(boundary),
                                SDSstring=out_SDSstring,
                                outProj='AEA',
                                projPara='6378137.0 6356752.314140356 29.5 45.5 96.0 23.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0',
                                datum='NAD83',
                                pixelSize=out_pixel,
                                resamplingType=resample,
                                stubbornness=stubbornness)

I receive an error with getHdf noting there is an error with the online connection:

Output projection: Albers Equal Area
Output pixel size: 250
Resampling method: nn
Output projection parameters specified!
