Here are 2 things to try:

z<-1:50;
x<-1:100;
plot(x,testone,type="l",xlab="",ylab="",main="",lty=4,axes=FALSE,
     ylim=c(-1.0,1.0), cex=1)
axis(2)
par(new=TRUE);
plot(z,testtwo,type="l",xlab="",ylab="",main="",lty=1,col="red",axes=FALSE,
    ylim=c(-1.0,1.0), cex=1, xlim=range(x))
xlabels<-x*10;
axis(1,1:100,xlabels);
axis(4);
box();

or 

z<-1:50;
x<-1:100;
plot(x,testone,type="l",xlab="",ylab="",main="",lty=4, axes=FALSE,
     ylim=c(-1.0,1.0), cex=1)
par(new=TRUE);
points(z,testtwo,type="l",xlab="",ylab="",main="",lty=1,col="red",axes=FALSE,
    ylim=c(-1.0,1.0), cex=1)
xlabels<-x*10;
axis(1,1:100,xlabels);
axis(2);
box();

When the par option xaxs="d" is implemented, then that will be a third
option.
