You have omitted the details of your system, but I'll guess Unix.

The names of R functions are nothing to do with the file names.  Don't
use dotnames for files containing R functions: some OSes do really strange
things with them.  Maybe package.skeleton() should remap the names, but
if not you will need to do it yourself.

On Unix R INSTALL does omit dotnames.  On some Windows systems using Samba
they become hidden.  Just avoid them.
