Not the correct pattern; there can be spaces after the function name
the first parentesis, e.g.
> rnorm (3)
[1] 0.6127487 0.8150284 -0.7170449
More, the above regular expression will not detect function calls
starting with a space, neither expressions such as "3+3" although I
don't think they would generate the above NOTE/error.

Also, what is the newline ('\n') doing in the negated set - isn't grep
done line by line?

Start commenting out/exclude part of your source code and recheck for
the same error should do. Start from scratch by adding a
foo <- function() { NA }
and exclude everything else. If that works, leave 1st half out, then
2nd and continue with "divide and conquer" until you narrow down the
problem. Sometimes it comes down to a single right bracket missed
out.
