Is it possible to set writeOGR so it overwrites existing files, or at least prompts? i.e. writeOGR(towns,".","towns",driver="ESRI Shapefile")
?writeOGR
overwrite_layer: default FALSE, if TRUE and ?check_exists=TRUE?, delete
the existing layer of the same name from the data source
before writing the new layer; this will delete data and must
be used with extreme caution, its behaviour varies between
drivers, and accommodates changes that may appear in GDAL 1.8
