Are you sure it's not working? That's exactly what the console is
supposed to display (the message means you've switched from the jpeg
_to_ the null device) -- check again to make sure the file wasn't
created -- I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

If you're not sure where to check, look in the directory returned by
getwd(); you can do this from within R by using list.files()

Best,
Michael
