I can reproduce your error with my example file and fast=TRUE. You might try
fast=FALSE 
and append=TRUE when things like this happens. The following works for me

library(RODBC)
channel = odbcConnectAccess("db.mdb")
sqlCopy(channel,"Select * from tab","newtab",destchannel=channel,
  safer=TRUE,append=TRUE,rownames=FALSE,fast=FALSE)
odbcClose(channel)
