[solved] Gnuplot behaves not as expected

Hello community,

I'm facing quite a strange problem with Arch's Gnuplot package. I need to make a pm3d plot from point data, but want to hide the points and only show the interpolated surface. I asked how to do this on a maths forum and got the advice to use the "nosurface" option. But unfortunately this option has absolutely no effect for me. Following .plt file

reset
set datafile missing "-nan"
set pm3d
set xlabel "X"
set ylabel "log t"
set zlabel "log Epsilon(R,t)"
show label
unset surface
splot "plotEpsilon.dat" u 4:2:3 title "Epsilon"

with following data file: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1507406/plotEpsilon.dat gives following output:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1507406/Gnuplot%202_013.png with gnuplot 4.6.0-3 from the repo and gnuplot-cvs from the AUR
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1507406/18476_surface1_mp.png with gnuplot 4.6.0 from the Mac Ports (whatever it is, seems that the user on the maths forum helping me is using a mac)

What can I do to analyze the problem and get the ugly points away?

Thanks,
PhotonX

edit: Scratch it, I was editing the wrong .plt file :'(
