There's quite a difference between 
.libPaths()  in interactive and in "R CMD check" use :

'R CMD check' does not use your R_ENVIRON where you probably set
your R_LIBS .
I vaguely remember that there a good reasons for this behavior,
but I don't recall them at the moment.

My solution (or "workaround the design bug"?) has been - for
packages I develop - to have small helper scripts that basically do

  R_LIBS=<the_non_standard_libs_I_need>  R CMD check <options>  <mypackage>
