[Rd] R CMD check file issues

Hi Duncan (and others).

I've just turned off my virus scanner (MS Forefront Endpoint Protection).

The issue persists. It appears that the first time I call R CMD check, it
deletes the previous rcheck folder, but tries to proceed before it is
actually gone. By the time I reissue the command, the folder is truly gone,
and the R CMD check can safely do its work.

Is anyone else here using Win7 (32bit) and successfully building/checking R
packages? Perhaps I'm the only one who has treaded this path :-)
