Notice that 'nc' is multivalued (nc<-x$Label[61:308]). If you want to check if x$Label[i] is one of the values in 'nc', then use %in%:
if (x$Label[i] %in% nc) .... The error happens because 'if' can only have a single conditional expressions and your original 'if' statement would have resulted in multiple logical values. THe error message says that 'if' can only use 1, so it picks the first and ignores the rest. It is probably not giving you the results you expect.
