Thanks, this now works.
I'd just like to mention that Sys.glob() wasn't necessary in 2.4.1
and this potential requirement should perhaps be mentioned in ?unlink.

try
unlink(Sys.glob("run.*"), recursive=TRUE)

It seems unlink doesn't work with wildcards in 2.5.0. I've tried
R-2.5.0 under gnu/linux from source and the Mac binary from att
research. Example:

[1] "bgx.Rnw" "bgx.pdf" "run.1"

[1] "bgx.Rnw" "bgx.pdf" "run.1"
