You have overlapping volumes. Just fragment the outside box with the internal 
solids (or use "Coherence") - see attached file.

You didn't specify any mesh sizes, so Gmsh generated the coarsest mesh 
possible. (Then my guess is that you clicked on "Refine by splitting" - this 
will refine by splitting elements, which is useful for convergence analysis, 
but will lead to quite an ugly mesh indeed.)

See modifications in attached file.
