If you are using the CRAN OSX R binary, the default package type is:
> getOption("pkgType")
[1] "mac.binary.leopard"
which is referenced in ?install.packages. It is looking for a binary version of

You need to use:
install.packages("/Users/hoffmann/R/cwhmisc_4.0.tar.gz",
repos = NULL, type = "source")
