One attempt to correctly locate the right place to save files (i.e. the user data dir) is http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rappdirs/index.html, a fork of the python appdirs (https://github.com/ActiveState/appdirs). There's no guarantee that these places will be writeable, but they're probably a reasonably good place to start.
