Based on what is happening here with me on Ubuntu 9.10, R 2.10 and orgmode 6.34.

The  ":file z.pdf :width 20 :height 40 :exports both"  is affecting
the size of the graphic that R produces. If you open x.pdf directly
you will find that it changes size as expected.

BUT regardless of the size of the z.pdf, Latex defaults to a fixed,
and tiny, standard size.  Unless you give an explicit latex command
#+attr_latex: width=Xcm

Are you just viewing them or printing them. I find with Ubuntu that
the default viewer seems to arbitrarily  change between programs and
the quality of graphics on the screen varies, but the quality of
printed output stays the same. Try opening the final PDF in an
alternative viewer and see if things still appear the same.
