It seems to me that your TeX cannot find your Gnuplot. I suggest that 
you check the symlink and the location of the Gnuplot app. In 
particular, the last two steps in the instructions I wrote on 14/9/08 
(credit for these steps to Vic Norton):

  7. go to /usr/local/bin in terminal and do
  8. $ sudo ln -sf        
	"/Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot"

This assumes that your Gnuplot.app is actually where this path points 
to. On my desktop machine Gnuplot.app is in a folder (I don't know 
why, maybe this is how it came out of the Octave dmg) called GnuPlot 
so my symlink there points to

	/Applications/GnuPlot/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot

Maybe the safest way is to drill down to gnuplot within the Gnuplot 
package, navigate to /usr/local/bin in terminal, type sudo ln -sf 
and then drop gnuplot on the terminal. The path then would be 
appended to complete the symlink command.

Hope that this helps
