also see ecloplot for an estimate and confidence limits plot for an  
alternative

findit eclplot finds it for you inside stata...

also see a recent paper on different error bars that might be used...

Email me if you don't have access to the paper.

If you really want the means and standard errors you can collapse the  
data set to to means, sd, and counts, derive the sems, and then plot  
means and sems with a scatter and rcap plot combined in a twoway graph.
