What this message means is that a "{" showed up when some other bracket was
unpaired.  In this case, if you check your code, you'll see that 
"if(MatriceDist[i,j] > 0 & ((vectorID[i] > 0 | vectorID[j] > 0))"  is
lacking a closing ")"  for the if clause.

Arguably it is due to the superfluous "(" after the "&". Further evidence perhaps of the value of adding spaces before and after parentheses. Also evidence of the value of an R-aware editor.
