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

Furthermore, we are currently proof-reading our new edited book:

http://www.springer.com/earth+sciences+and+geography/geographical+information+systems/book/978-3-642-10594-4

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
