Sorry, I didn't see that.

If you use the --no-clean command line option, then the temporary 
directory containing the .tex file will not be deleted.  It contains 
your \Sexpr expressions wrapped in verbatim environments.  I suspect 
this is happening because Rd2pdf isn't running the Sexpr evaluation 
step.  I'll try to take a look and fix it.
