I'd suggest using Rserve and JRI from the rforge site (I assume  
install.packages does not know about that by default)

http://www.rforge.net/Rserve/

 From that page:

"""
Important note about the Java clients: please make sure you're using  
the REngine-based client! (org.rosuda.REngine.Rserve.RConnection  
class). For some strange reason some users are still using the old,  
unsupported JRclient which has been replaced two years ago!
"""

I'm actually traveling today and will be in India till Jan 13th, so I  
can't provide much more detail right now. It might be useful to post  
questions on the rserve m/l
