Please, read the usersguide.

It says, that R (rhombohedral) cells will be first converted into H 
(hexagonal cells, which is 3x bigger and corresponds to the conventional 
(not the primitive) cell.

When you run supercell again with the new struct file, you can form a 
cell with more layers and add some vacuum.

PS: A vacuum of 60 Ang is nonsense. Use 30 bohr for the vacuum.
