Did you run the panel.cor?
pairs(z,upper.panel=panel.cor)
Error in pairs.default(z, upper.panel = panel.cor) : 
  object 'panel.cor' not found


panel.cor <- function(x, y, digits = 2, prefix = "", cex.cor, ...)
      {
          usr <- par("usr"); on.exit(par(usr))
          par(usr = c(0, 1, 0, 1))
          r <- abs(cor(x, y))
          txt <- format(c(r, 0.123456789), digits = digits)[1]
          txt <- paste0(prefix, txt)
          if(missing(cex.cor)) cex.cor <- 0.8/strwidth(txt)
          text(0.5, 0.5, txt, cex = cex.cor * r)
      }
  pairs(z,upper.panel=panel.cor)

A.K.

Command pairs() does not show the correlation coefficient on the upper
diagonal of a set of scatter plots.  The command produces an error in
Windows 7, but it works fine in OS X Mavericks with the same R version
3.0.2.  Platform, R version and example under Windows 7 provided
below.
$platform
[1] "i386-w64-mingw32"
...
$version.string
[1] "R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25)"

Example:

> set.seed(12345)
> x <- rnorm(10)
> y <- log(c(2:11))
> z <- data.frame(x,y)
> cor(z)
           x          y
x  1.0000000 -0.4867929
y -0.4867929  1.0000000
> pairs(z)
