Hi YAddo,
Perhaps the most common problem with getting the positions of axis 
labels right occurs with barplots. The bars in the standard "barplot" 
function are not centered on integer values, but the centers are 
returned from the function:

barpos<-barplot(...)
axis(1,at=barpos,...)

Is this the problem you are having?

Jim
