I forgot to say what 'rmNames' is: rmNames <- function(x) {x[c(FALSE, x[-1]==x[-length(x)])] <- ""; x}
With rmNames <- function(x) {x[c(FALSE, x[-1]==x[-length(x)])] <- NA; x} the option na.blank=TRUE works as expected. Also, the two empty columns are inserted due to "cgroup", but I don't know how to avoid this.
