I tried with R-2.4.1 and R-2.5.0 - it works for me.
Can you please try again with R-2.5.0?

Hi,
I have my files and R session on a portable hard drive to be able to
work across computers since I have some extremely large files. I have
just started doing this and generally it works as I expect. But after a
while of using my R session, certain types of calls to open connections
on the hard drive don't work. But I experience no problems
opening/saving files on the portable hard drive using other programs.
In particular, if I explicitly call the entire folder path to the hard
drive, I can save an object to file, for example. But if I just want to
save it in the current working directory, without explicitly naming the
entire path, then I have problems (I show an example below). I am using
a package that assumes a certain file structure from the current working
directory in order to find/write output, which is why I want to be able
to rely on not explicitly calling the whole path. Furthermore, I was
experimenting just now, and when I changed the current directory to
another one, and then back to the removable hard drive, everything gets
'reset' somehow and opening connections works again, just like when I
first started up my session.
I am on Windows XP, R 2.4.0.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Purdom
example:
getwd()
[1] I:/ICBP/Exon Array/Data
#explicit call to hard drive works...
save(x,file=I:/ICBP/Exon Array/Data/tmp.rdata)
#unexplicit call relying on knowing working directory doesn't...
save(x,file=tmp.rdata)
Error in gzfile(file, wb) : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message:
cannot open compressed file 'tmp.rdata'
