So please follow the posting guide at http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html, to wit

'f you are using an old version of R and think it does not work properly, upgrade to the latest version and try that, before posting. If possible, try the current R-patched or R-devel version of R (see the FAQ for details), to see if the problem has already been addressed.'

It has been.

For 'R CMD check', it appears that option '--outdir' is not recognized

                         where 'pkg' is the name of the package checked)

Example:

R CMD check -outdir=foo pkg_0.1.tar.gz

R CMD check -outdir foo pkg_0.1.tar.gz

I get this with:

I see the same behavior on 3.0.1 (pre-compiled binaries on Ubuntu

Should I report this to http://bugs.r-project.org/?

Did you? If not, please do (or tell me to if you don't have time). I
see nothing in News.Rd on trunk.
