This is a FAQ: see
http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/FAQ.html#x1-14000A.12
Which says:

"If you can create the .tex file by running Sweave() in R, but cannot convert the .tex file to .dvi or .pdf, this is most likely caused by a space in the path of your R installation. If the path of your R installation contains any blank characters (like the default "c:\Program Files\..." in English versions of Windows), this may cause problems, because programs like tex or latex cannot handle blanks in paths properly.
Two possible solutions:
   1. Install R in a path not containing any blanks.
   2. Copy the file Sweave.sty to a directory in your tex path or the directory containing the Sweave file and put a \usepackage{Sweave} into the preamble of your Sweave file."

I use the first solution...
