What gives you the information that "\t" has expanded to spaces? Often, writing a file out to a display, or importing it into an editor (though you should be able to turn this off) expands tabs
I am getting tabs, but the values are being padded out to the tabs. Here is one sample line with spaces replaced by '.' and tabs replaced by '^'.

This is with R 2.0.1 both on Mandrake linux and Mac OS X.
Also, I know it's not an issue of a text editor altering the data as these file get
read in by perl scripts and R as well as my text editor of choice.
