If you are referring to your pastebin code then the actual error that
code similar to it gives is:

> crac <- read.zoo(URL, skip = 1, header = TRUE,
+    colClasses = rep(c(NA, "numeric", "NULL"), c(1, 1, 3)),
+    FUN = chr, sep = ",")
Error in read.zoo(URL, skip = 1, header = TRUE, colClasses = rep(c(NA,  :
  index has bad entries at data rows: 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26 27 28

and that is because there are empty values in the index field.
