function (df, datafile, codefile, package = c("SPSS", "Stata", 
    "SAS"), ...) 

The datafile and codefile arguments must be different files, one for data, 
the other for the code you will use for reading the data into your target 
software. On Linux for me the codefile overwrites the datafile, but for 
you on Windows(?) the file is still open, so the code writer cannot write 
to it.
