Please note (because you keep saying it): this is not Rcmd.
Rcmd runs Perl to run the Perl script build.
The perl script build --binary runs INSTALL to install your package.
INSTALL runs Rdconv, and it is Rdconv which is complaining.
So the problem is installing your package: did you try installing it from
the sources?

It means braces, { }.

Yes it does! It's a normal part of Rd conversion.

Yes, there are syntax errors in your .Rd file, or a bug in Rdconv (but
unlikely as it has successfully processed many files -- is this one
particularly large?). Try removing bits of the .Rd file to narrow the
problem down.
