Doesn't work either, neither on Win7 nor WinXP.

sessionInfo()

R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16)
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

Not sure what happened but I tried it again and it did not work on my
system either.

If a workaround is ok then this works on my system:

shell(paste("whoami", ">", "out.txt"))
