Hi Did you use package.skeleton()? I don't know if this will fix your specific problem, but all I do is load up all the objects in R that I want in my package, run package.skeleton, then create the docs and everything is fine - I've certainly not seen those errors before...

You might also consider moving the package to a path that doesn't contain spaces. Although this is supposedly not necessary these days, it may be the cause of your problem.
