[R-sig-Geo] strange trouble with writeOGR call

[Edzer Pebesma]

The first thing I would try is let the application print the complete
file name (path+file) where it wants to create a layer, and then verify
by hand that under the permissions of the application you can actually
do this (you have write permission, there is disk space).
