Sounds like the Aquaterm and Gnuplot being used under account/user B are not 
compatible.  Under user A & B what does "which gnuplot" return from the 
Terminal? (should be the same).

If you use Splotlight to search for "AquaTerm.app" do you get more than one 
result under either account, or does Spotlight find a different AquaTerm.app 
for each account?

These sort of problems are more common if an /Users/USERNAME/Applications 
directory exists to permit individual users to install Applications which other 
users will not see.
