[R-SIG-Mac] Problem generating an SVG file from a CSV file on the Mac - updated with test script and test data

[Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal]

Worked on my machine.  I think you need to give more info,  including what version of the OS you are running,  and from within R the result of 'sessionInfo()',  also what happens if you run it from within R,  rather than from RScript.

HTH,
