On further review, it appears that & has nothing to do with the problems I'm experiencing. For some reason, the computer gods don't like --args 1 3. A solution I've found is outlined in the R-help archives: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/02/13163.html .
If you know of another solution, please let me know.
