You no longer need the -showyvars-... the -ascategory- tells Stata to treat your variables as if they were categories, which get labelled by default. Using both options together it is trying to label both variables and categories within variables (of which there are none).

graph bar (mean) Nose= BiopNose Kidney= BiopKidney ///
Lung= BiopLung Skin= BiopSkin Muscle= BiopMuscle, ///
ascategory showyvars nolabel
