The message
 "readxlsheets: file not found' 
might be a mis-information, and the actual error not related to file
not found.  The latest changes were some minor update in Tara for
working with xls2cvs.

There is a try/catch structure in the top level cover verb. Remove
the try keyword and commenting the catch block, truning on debugger
and run to let it suspend at the point of failure, and see what has
gone wrong.
