Just glancing at this, don't you mean:

	(kill-buffer (window-buffer (previous-window)))

Or, after switching to a new buffer I think you can kill the previous
one with:

	(switch-to-buffer ...)
	(kill-buffer (car (cdr (buffer-list))))

Or you could always kill the current buffer before switching:

	(kill-buffer (current-buffer))
	(switch-to-buffer ...)

Or maybe I don't really understand the problem. :-)
