Hi Dan,

org-plot does not have support for automatic generation of plots on
export.  Currently to include plots in an exported document you must
manually plot the data to a file using the 'file' argument in your plot
string, then include the generated file into your org-mode document as
you would any other image.

Cheers -- Eric

side note: If you are feeling bold, I have recently added gnuplot as a
supported language to org-babel [1].  With org-babel it is possible to
setup a plot which will be automatically generated and included in an
org-mode document upon export to html.  Here is an example of a plot
using the new org-babel syntax [2].  To preview the graph before export
press C-c C-c with the point on the block.
