R help - Jan 2013 - Package check using --as-cran

I use R 2.15.2 on MacosX 10.8.2

I have a problem checking for a package that I want to submit in CRAN.

When I check like that, no problem or warning are detected.
system("R CMD check '[path]/phenology'")

I create the .tar.gz package with that. The file phenology_3.43.tar.gz 
is generated. I can install the package and it works.
system("R CMD build '[path]/phenology'")

But if I check it using --as-cran as required by CRAN policy,
system("R CMD check '[path]/phenology_3.43.tar.gz' --as-cran")

I get an error:
* using log directory ?[path]/Phenology Package/phenology.Rcheck?
* using R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26)
* using platform: i386-apple-darwin9.8.0 (32-bit)

* checking if this is a source package ... OK

* checking for executable files ... OK
* checking for hidden files and directories ... OK
* checking whether package ?phenology? can be installed ... ERROR
Installation failed.
See ?[path]/phenology.Rcheck/00install.out? for details.

The file 00install.out has no more information, it is just a copy of 
these informations.

I would like to know if there is a "verbose" version of the check.

Thanks a lot

Well, the "verbos"e part is in file
[path]/phenology.Rcheck/00install.out
as the ERROR message told you.
