Registry not writeable

[dajmcdon]

I ran a number of jobs using batchtools v0.9.6. I then updated to v0.9.8 (CRAN version) to access the unwrap function. However, I now get the following:

> loadRegistry('newBatch/cplrWithDeviance/')
Reading registry in read-only mode

This is strange and should not happen. I made the update routine more robust in the current devel version to avoid this problem.

Alternatively, you could just move or delete all pending status update files in [file.dir]/updates and try again. Probably some of them are broken.

Deleting worked (I think). Thanks for the prompt response and a great package!

Ok great. Will push a more robust version to CRAN soon.
