Do you have R_LIBS set to you library of packages? I got this error without fail when trying to R CMD check on my hand compiled R 2.10-patched. R_LIBS was set to my own library and it was full of 2.9.x packages. When I looked in ./tests/reg-tests-1.Rout I got the error about out of date packages or similar.
It would be useful to see the output from tail -n 20 ./tests/reg-tests-1.Rout to see what the problem is. Did you look there?
