Hi!

well, yes, that's because TeX does not like the exponent notation and
pgf builds on TeX number parsing. Two possible solutions: 1) produce
the table without the exponent notation. This is often pretty easy to
ensure. 2) Write a new plot parser that handle exponents. Not quite
trivial and slow...

Sorry,
Till
