It appears you are doing something that creates a temporary file. You probably need to tell us what locale you are in and show the output for sessionInfo() (as the Posting Guide advises.) I guessing it has something to do with encodings and "\MICHAŁ\"

Probably a good I idea to review the Internationalization sections of the Installation and Administration Guide and to look at:

?Encoding
?Sys.getlocale

And the Posting Guide requests you do not post with HTML.
