[R-SIG-Finance] problem with import data

[FJ M]

Date,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,Adj Close
 
I think your problem is Adj Close has a space in it. If you remove the space or replace it with underscore, I think you will be home free. You could also delete the Adj Close column -- I never use it. 
 
Good Luck
