  We observed current-voltage characteristics of superconducting single charge
transistors with on-chip resistors of R about R_Q = h/4e^2 = 6.45 kOhm, which
are explained in terms of Cooper-pair cotunneling. Both the effective strength
of Josephson coupling and the cotunneling current are modulated by the
gate-induced charge on the transistor island. For increasing values of the
resistance R we found the Cooper pair current at small transport voltages to be
dramatically suppressed.
