Perhaps when Markus' script formerly worked, 'lines' was accepted
as an abbreviation of 'linestyle', and now is being taken as the 
<style>-designator keyword 'lines'.  Markus, do you know the version
numbers of gnuplot that you formerly used, and are using now?

Anyhow, changing lines to ls in the script may fix the problem.
