The other point I would make is that you should be looking at the help page for 
read.xls and making sure that on the off-chance that the authors did intend for 
you to have access to Excel macros for some readsin in R tha thtey were using 
the same aruments. The error message says you are having problems with you 
argument list and looking at the help page makes me think you are using 
read.tabe arguments for read.xls. Not a wise idea.This is the list of formals:

read.xlsx(file, sheetIndex, sheetName=NULL, rowIndex=NULL,
  colIndex=NULL, as.data.frame=TRUE, header=TRUE, colClasses=NA,
  keepFormulas=FALSE, encoding="unknown", ...)

And it says the 'dots' are sent to data.frame rather than to read.table.
