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

[Richard Fuhr]

After invoking update.packages() I was able to successfully run the script
and generate the plots using all the file formats, including SVG.
Thanks for your help.  I appreciate it.
