Subject: sink() doesn't work

We can't really diagnose the problem without a repeatable example
(that is, what's in your R file?).
But my suspicion is that you've called sink(filename) more than once.
Simply type
sink()
at the command prompt until you get the warning:
In sink() : no sink to remove
And then all should be well.
