Hi all 

I am fairly new to GIS and R and am trying to download, reproject, mosaic and 
save MODIS NDVI and EVI data as a geotiff. I need tiles from across North 
America, so a lot of data and would prefer to find an automatic solution. I've 
come across modisDownload but can't seem to get it to work…I think the code 
below manages  to download the hdf files but I don't see the geotiff mosaic 
file that I expect (code based on tutorial found at 
http://r-gis.net/?q=ModisDownload):

I am using a mac and the MRT bin folder is stored in my "Applications" folder.
######### setwd("./MODIS") # set directory to location R script and where I 
want the output
mrtpath<-"/Applications/bin" # tell R where MRT is stored
source('ModisDownload.R') # run the R script from r-gis.net
library(RCurl) #raster package is already loaded
x=3 # Now as per the online tutorial which gives code to do the following
# Downloads selected tiles, and mosaic, reproject them in UTM_WGS84, zone 30 
projection and convert all bands into Geotif format (the original HDF
will be deleted!)
ModisDownload(x=x,h=c(17,18),v=c(4,5),dates="2011.05.01",MRTpath=mrtpath,proj_type="UTM",utm_zone=30,datum="WGS84",pixel_size=1000)
 ######### 

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The code seems to run but only 
produces four hdf files… I'm open to other suggestions as to how to get and 
process MODIS data…even the MRT tool seems to be giving me trouble so if 
there is a step-by-step tutorial for beginners out there for how to do this, 
I'd really appreciate a point in the right direction!

Thanks
