Thanks, Nick. After MUCH investigation, and a lot of help from John Kitchen, I worked out that

a. The file was changing fine on disk, just not redisplaying in Emacs.

b. The problem seems to be related to the version of Emacs I'm using (24.4 for OS X), downloaded from http://emacsformacosx.com/builds. After going back there and downloading and installing Emacs 24.4.90 pretest, org-mode now updates graphs just fine. 

I don't know what the problem was, or why changing the Emacs version solved it (with no other changes), but maybe this will be helpful to someone else.

Best,

RIchard Stanton
