If you install you package does the following work in a fresh R session library(yourPackage) annotIndex or do you need to say data(annotIndex) before using that object? (This may depend on whether yourPackage uses a namespace or not.) If so then adding the line LazyData: yes to DESCRIPTION should eliminate the need for the call to data(annotIndex) and make check happy as well. It works for me with R 2.13.0 on Linux.
I am not an expert on the details of the DESCRIPTION and NAMESPACE files in R packages and others who know better will probably chime in.
