I'm sure the devil is in the details (eg there are issues with
coordinating the running of Stata and R). For instance, Stata may have
to go to sleep until R signals that the code execution is over etc.
But the above does not seem any more daunting than the average ado out
there.
Wouldn't the easy check be: Stata, please white until the file /file/ that/is/the/result/of/executing/R/ exists?
A variant of the pause command? How about an option waitfor(/file/ that/is/the/result/of/executing/R/results.txt) for rsource?
problem solved: google returned http://datasets.org/statalist/archive/2002-06/msg00295.html

capture confirm file c:\wherever\output.txt
	while _rc { /* file does not exist! */
	sleep 1000 /* wait 1000 ms = 1 second before trying again */
	capture confirm file c:\wherever\output.txt
	}
