R help - Feb 2009 - Problems with labeling a set X axis in chron plots

I am having difficulties getting the X-axis labels (dates) to be as 
needed when plotting from chron

The help syntax from chron lists this example:
x <- chron(dates = c("02/27/92", "02/27/92",
"01/14/92", "02/28/92"),

I have activity plots by time on the y-axis and the dates on the 
x-axis.  What I need/want is that the dates remain the same for a 
give set of data i.e. 10/25/2006 to 03/30/2007 as with some data sets 
within this time frame there is no activity for all of the dates so 
each plot has a different set of dates.


Below  works great but when I try to constrain the dates it crashes...

DF <- read.table(textConnection(Lines), header = TRUE, as.is = TRUE)
DF$Date <- chron(DF$Date)
DF$Time <- times(paste(DF$Time, 0, sep = ":"))
at <- c(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
plot(Time ~ Date, DF, ylim = 0:1, yaxt = "n",main=
"Centronycteris centralis")
axis(2, at/24, lab = paste(at, "00", sep = ":"), las = 1,
cex.axis = .7)

Thanks to all here on the group,
