Although you solved the problem, another solution for headaches like these is simply to preprocess the table in something like Perl/Python (within your org file using Babel) to get the desired string format. Then pass the resulting array/list to gnuplot. The solution you were provided is probably the way to go, but keep this strategy in mind - sometimes it's just not worth the effort to solve everything in one language.
