R devel - Apr 2013 - R-package preparation --as-cran behaving unexpectedly

Dear all,

I am trying to submit an R-package to CRAN. In preparation I do run

R_INSTALL_TAR=/bin/tar R CMD check --as-cran parallelize.dynamic_0.9.tar.gz

and the command finishes without warnings or errors. As a final output I get

NOTE: There was 1 note.
See
?.../Rpackages/parallelize.dynamic/parallelize.dynamic.Rcheck/00check.log?
for details.

The file contains the standard output of the 'R CMD check ...' call 
precisely. If I submit this very tarball to CRAN I get rejected with 
warnings as reported from '--as-cran' checks there. In my case they are 
valid warnings about assignments in .GlobalEnv which I can certainly 
fix. However, my concern is about the discrepancy between the outputs of 
'R CMD check --as-cran' runs locally as compared to the run on the 
CRAN-site.

Any help is appreciated. I am running


R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26) -- "Trick or Treat"
Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit)

Thanks in advance,

Stefan

Presumably CRAN is now running checks from 3.0.0 (which was released 
today, and has been available for testing for more than a month).  I 
wouldn't be surprised if those are different from the 2.15.2 tests.
