Ha Janet,
Does this reshape do what you want:
df = read.table(header=TRUE,text="
scen streamflow    trans     evap      psn
1   0.019234 1.658967 0.002883 0.002391
1   0.019027 1.661192 0.002844 0.003142
2   0.018821 1.695623 0.003192 0.002167
2   0.018619 1.503481 0.002536 0.003059
3   0.018425 0.000008 1.880355 0.002592
3   0.018369 0.100551 2.225793 0.006642
")
df$t <- 1:2
# reshape(df,idvar="scen",timevar="t",direction="wide")
reshape(df,idvar="t",timevar="scen",direction="wide")
