Please do read what "writing R extensions" says about the data directory.
This is not a correct use of that directory, and may well fail in the next
release.
I suggest you install them in an ini directory, by putting them in
inst/ini in the package sources.

That makes assumptions about where a package is installed. Use
system.file(), e.g.
source(system.file("ini", "foo_ini.R", package="__pkg__"))
