Try this:
# "foo.dat" is a two-column file with the data you gave earlier
myData <- read.table("foo.dat", sep="\t", colClasses=c("POSIXct", "numeric"))
# plot, but don't label the x-axis
plot(myData, type="l", xaxt="n")
# now, add labels to the x-axis
axis.POSIXct(1, myData$V1, format="%m/%d %H:%M")
