Hi Christofer,
A few comments.
1. Your experiment seems to show (I hope) that the issue may not be a shiny
issue.
If that is the case you can try to do things in a simpler setting,
such as a (non-shiny) R session,
say from the shell. i.e. start an interactive R session and enter the
load command within that session.
2. Perhaps your RData file contains objects that need some libraries to be
loaded? (Not sure why that would cause a problem but on your local system
you can look at the variables resulting from the load command and see if
any of them require some libraries to be loaded.)
3. I found this reference which gives some useful information about RData
files that might also be helpful:

Good luck,
Eric
