[Rd] R CMD check file issues

[Henrik Bengtsson]

I'm on Windows 7 (64-bit) and everything works perfectly.  Obviously,
there is either another process locking down a file with the same name
or the directory doesn't exist at the time of the file() call.

Now to the most important question  ...what's your sessionInfo()?
