If you had done d.ts in R you would have seen that the result was not what you

Search in Google for "R daily timeseries”
The second hit is
http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/stats/html/ts.html
which is the manual page for ts.
So in R issue a ?ts command.
Look in Details and you should see that frequency must be set to 7 in your case.
