I think that somehow we are talking past each other here. plotmeans() does what it is designed to do, which is to simplify the process of plotting group-wise point estimates and user defined error bars/intervals around the point estimates. In your case, these intervals would be standard deviations around each of the group means as you have indicated. Review the examples in ?plotmeans. As Martin and others have pointed out, you need to remove boxplots from the equation here, as they were not designed to plot means and standard deviations.
