I have collected some related articles:
http://www.citeulike.org/user/neteler/tag/randomforest

We have published on some years ago:
http://www.citeulike.org/user/neteler/article/172938
GIS and the Random Forest Predictor: Integration in R for Tick-Borne
Disease Risk Assessment

We are currently proof-reading our new edited book:

which contains a related chapter.

I have some (old) material here:
http://www.grassbook.org/neteler/shortcourse_grass2003/notes7.html

It is using rpart() but the syntax is pretty similar to randomForest().

Hope this helps
