If I understand your problem correctly this small example may can help 
you. But it is more "handcraftet" with boxes than use the histograms.

File jp.dat:
xtics	x	data	dd1	dd2	dd3
AAA	1	7	6	8	3
BBB	2	6	5	4	9
CCC	3	8	6	7	9

gnuplot-script:
set boxwidth 0.8
set style fill solid 1.0
set xrange [0:4]
set yrange [0:10]
plot 'jp.dat' u 2:3:xtic(1) with boxes title columnheader,\
'' u ($2-0.3):4:(0.2) with boxes title columnheader,\
'' u 2:5:(0.2) with boxes title columnheader,\
'' u ($2+0.3):6:(0.2) with boxes title columnheader
