Some things to try:

-  try adding dbname = tempfile() argument to your sqldf statement and
see if that makes any difference

- try it with the H2 database rather than sqlite (or with PostgreSQL)
  To use it with H2 make sure you have Java and the CRAN package, RH2,
installed.
  RH2 includes the H2 database itself so you don't need to install that.
  Then issue this line in R any time before your first sqldf call
     library(RH2)
  sqldf will notice it and automatically use the H2 database instead of sqlite

- try it with R 2.11
