Almost certainly there are no NAs in your index (although we can't say for 
sure as Gabor pointed out).

                                                    ^^^
First problem: This should be %Y.
Second problem: You need header = TRUE.

Thus, I would guess that
   h <- read.zoo("gdata.txt", sep = ",", format = "%Y-%m-%d",
     header = TRUE)
should do what you want.
