You need to be sure that you have the current version of R (2.10.1), the current
version of the RODBC package (1.3-0), an ODBC driver for Filemaker installed and
of course, appropriate environment variables set and configuration files
created.
I am not familiar with Filemaker, so you may have to contact their support folks
to be sure that you at least have their end of things configured correctly. You
want to be sure that you make it clear that you want to connect TO Filemaker
using an ODBC connection from an external application. Not that you want to
connect FROM Filemaker to an external database application/server (eg. Oracle).
A quick search of the R list archives comes up with at least one indication of
success:

though it is not clear what OS Sean was using.
Another specifically on OSX is here:

If you need to post follow ups, you are best to post to the R-SIG-DB list. More
