I am using 1.7 and have also tried this in 1.6 with the same problem.
hsb<-read.spss("C:\HLM504_Student\Examples\AppendxA\HSB1.SAV",
use.value.labels=TRUE, to.data.frame=FALSE, max.value.labels=Inf)
Running under Windows, you need to "escape" the backslashes, so you need
to use double backslashes:
hsb<-read.spss("C:\\HLM504_Student\\Examples\\AppendxA\\HSB1.SAV",
use.value.labels = TRUE, to.data.frame = FALSE, max.value.labels = Inf)
This is in the Windows FAQ 2.14.

The message is quite correct. See the rw-FAQ, Q2.14, or the FAQ Q7.10.
