I can confirm the behaviour that you report. Usually I put Rtools in c:\programs\Rtools and modify the path accordingly. Recently (don't recall for how long) I have encountered the same problems as you have and I have resorted to moving Rtools to c:\Rtools
I have no idea as how to proceed; perhaps it could be worth trying an older version of Rtools (though that may cause other problems).
