        ^--- typo!

That sequence makes no particular sense.  The input format for 'set 
xrange' is the one you specified with timefmt before.

What do you mean by "shows a date"?  You're not seriously expecting 
gnuplot to output 28 x axis tickmarks on this plot, and label every one 
with a 5-character date string, are you?  That's 150 characters on a 
single axis, i.e. massive overprinting and/or total lack of readability.
