Nick,
This got me curious to see the output. I tried to generate it on my computer
and get this in the *gnuplot* buffer after running the code:
-----
gnuplot> plot data using 1:2:3 notitle
^
warning: Skipping data file with no valid points
^
x range is invalid
-----
This is working for you, though?
#+tblname: sessions
| Date | Time | Distance |
|------------+-------+----------|
| 09/02/2010 | 15:13 | 2.5 |
| 09/01/2010 | 14:00 | 2.4 |
#+begin_src gnuplot :var data=sessions :file org-running.png :exports both
set title "Running Stats"
set auto x
set style data histogram
set style fill solid border -1
set boxwidth .9
set xlabel "Date"
set ylabel "Time"
plot data using 1:2:3 notitle
#+end_src
