General suggestions: avoid cbind() and avoid accessing data frames. Convert data frames to matrices before accessing them. Also, why do you print? You don't really want to print(t) for every iteration of the loop, do you? Also avoid defining elements within the loop that need to be defined only once ( such as path<- paste("c:/Data/",csvfile) ).
For more specific help it would help if you provided a minimally self-contained example (one that we can copy-paste in the R prompt) as requested in the posting guide.
