Looks like being "Mes documents" although I don't know how to check if 
it is translated or not on the system level. Actually the French 
translation of the English original "My Documents".

However I have tried moving the folder pgirmess one level up to

U:\Documents and Settings\pgiraudo\Bureau instead of U:\Documents and 
Settings\pgiraudo\Mes documents\R\pgir_arch\pgirmess_arch\

and then running rcmd check..... and.... it works (tried twice, both 
OK). Means "Mes documents" seems not to be the real cause, but the "On 
Work" directory. However, replacing "On Work" by "On_work" gives a 
failure as before. Conclusion: looks like if the "space" character is 
not the problem, but the length of the path or the number of embedded 
directories (?).
