Help on using read.Agilent

Hello

I am new to R and am trying to read Agilent microarray files using 
read.Agilent in the marray library.

Please see cammand line arguments below:
ngr=1, ngc=1, nsr=105, nsc=215, ctl.col=6, skip=0)
info_id=4:5, labels=4, skip=10)
name.Gb="gBGMedianSignal", name.Rf = "rMedianSignal", name.Rb = 
"rBGMedianSignal", layout=hcc.layout, gnames=hcc.gnames, targets=hcc.targets, 
skip=10, sep="\t", quote="\"", DEBUG=TRUE)

However I am getting an error:

Error in read.Agilent(fnames, path = "data.dir", name.Gf = "gMedianSignal" ,  
:
        Object "descript" not found

I have checked the file and there doesn't appear to be any problems opening it 
and there are no strange characters.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong or what to try next.

Can you please help?

Many thanks in advance.
