That will not work (or at least doesn't work for me.
This does work:
fnam<-'thefilename.csv' #or build the name however you like
fpath <- 'macintoshhd/users/me/myfolder/ # or whatever you need
read.csv(eval(paste(fpath,fnam,sep="")) #worked for me

Try this:
read.csv(sprintf("D://R//Data//%04d//%04d.csv", x, x), header = TRUE)
