A standalone example is always helpful. The following works for me, so I am probably not understanding your problem:

---[BEGIN: umlaut.Rnw]---
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

\begin{document}

<<test,echo=TRUE>>=
x <- data.frame(Geschäftslage=1:10)
summary(x)
@
\end{document}
---[END: umlaut.Rnw]---

$ R CMD Sweave umlaut.Rnw
$ R CMD pdflatex umlaut.tex
$ gnome-open umlaut.pdf

Dear all,

I use Sweave to create my reports. Unfortunately my script crashes whenever I 
my R code contains special characters like umlauts.
Is there a way to to escape special characters in Sweave... This is the line 
that crashes Sweave:

gl_bybranch = ddply(new_wans,.(period,Branchen), function(X) 
data.frame(Geschäftslage=mean(X$sentiment)))

Unfortunately I can't just rename it, because I it´s displayed in the legend of 
graphics later on.

Thx for any suggestions!

best

matt
