That was a weird one. Found the problem. If the USB stick disconnects because it's a bit wobbly, it doesn't work any more. If I restart RStudio it works until the stick disconnects itself again.

Maybe some hardware ID change in the background or something?

This applies to all R libraries, so I guess this can be closed.
