That's not the file with the problem. As I read the code, it is a
dynamically constructed file containing the usage sections of your .Rd
files. 

Hmm. Longer term, I think we might want a small change to "R CMD
check" to be optionally more verbose.

Your problem would seem to happen during this section:

        open Rcmd, "> $Rcmd" || die "Cannot write to \`$Rcmd'\n";
        print Rcmd "codoc(dir = \"${pkgdir}\")\n";
        close Rcmd;
        system("${R_exe} ${R_opts} --quiet < ${Rcmd} > ${Rout}");

so the thing you could do to decipher the problem would be to fire up
R yourself and run

codoc(dir="/path/to/pllib", verbose=T)

you might want to precede that with debug(codoc) so that you can catch
the actual file before it is deleted.
