It's not too easy to tell given the number of ways large networked installs can 
be configured, but the logic is that if the R installation directory is write 
protected (which is usually a good thing), the packages go into a subdirectory 
of the user's home dir. The output suggests that R believes that this is 
\\cdc.gov\private\M328\ygv7, but apparently that doesn't exist since it tries 
to create \\cdc.gov\private which it can't.

Apart from that, try digging around in
