I am trying to read a shapefile using readOGR but keep getting error

use_iconv,  :
 Cannot open layer

What is "/Volumes/DS2S/R_QGIS_codes//Data"? If a network drive, some OGR
drivers are known not to work with them (or that used to be the case).
Which OS/Platform is this? Is the repeated "//" correct? Can you see the
file running list.files("/Volumes/DS2S/R_QGIS_codes//Data") ?

What could be causing the problem? sp 1.3-2

Thanks
