Nicolas,

attached is a patch (relative to master from a few minutes ago) which
allows gnuplot babel blocks to send the output to the right
directory.  I have tested this with both buffers associated with actual
files and buffers not associated with any file.

Your suggestion for getting the directory name worked just fine.

Thanks,
eric

Subject: [PATCH] allow gnuplot to generate plots in different directories

* lisp/ob-gnuplot.el (org-babel-expand-body:gnuplot) if the org buffer
  is associated with a file, direct gnuplot to change to the directory
  for that file.
