Good! Maybe you should post the babel solution for future reference.
Here is an org-plot solution for future reference: there is a script
option that allows you to use an arbitrary gnuplot script. The org
manual (http://orgmode.org/manual/Org_002dPlot.html#Org-Plot) describes
it very well:
,----
| script If you want total control, you can specify a script file (place
| the file name between double-quotes) which will be used to
| plot. Before plotting, every instance of $datafile in the
| specified script will be replaced with the path to the generated
| data file. Note: even if you set this option, you may still want
| to specify the plot type, as that can impact the content of the
| data file.

foo.org:

#+plot: type:2d script:"myscript.gp"

| a | 0 | 10 |

myscript.gp:

plot '$datafile' using 2:3:xticlabels(1)
