pgfSweave() tries to compile your tex file to PDF by default; that is where texi2dvi() came from.
Are you compiling the same Rnw as you mentioned before? It looks odd because there should not be a makefile unless you turned on externalization (the Rnw file you provided did not use externalization). If there is a makefile anyway, you may need to delete it as the instruction said. I have no idea about the warning about Encoding in DESCRIPTION, but an extremely important piece of information that you must provide in this mailing list is sessionInfo().
