Hi

First of all do not mix data frame and matrix, they have quite different 
properties.

By transposing data frame you got character matrix and you cannot do barplot 
with characters.
So you shall transpose only column PT_SATZ and add names from MONTHS but why 
not to use your data frame directly?

dat<-data.frame(x=letters[1:5], y=1:5)
barplot(dat[,2], names.arg=dat[,1])

You could arrive to this answer quicker if you bother to look into 
documentation to barplot so as did I.

Regards
Petr
