"R" does indicate that the "symbol" to be used is independent from that actual duration, but you still have to supply the length of it. I know that may be somewhat confusing.

If you don't specify a duration for the first note LilyPond will implicitly use a quarter note (i.e. "c" will be treated as "c4", so in your example LilyPond thinks you meant "R4" and complains at the barcheck.
You have to write "R1" in your example (and of course consider that the next note/rest you enter will be considered having length "1" if you don't specify otherwise.

Another newbie alert!

I'm getting barcheck problems when putting in full bar rests and can't work out why. The file's very simple:

\version "2.16.2"  % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond versions.

\language "english"

<<

\new Staff 
  { \clef "treble" \key f \minor \time 4/4 \relative c''
    {  R |

    }
  }

>>

But I get a load of errors:
