Do you have a typo in your message?  The second line in the definition of
errors should read myestimatederror31? If that is the case, I suggest the
following (leaving aside the embellishments):

In[46]:=
errs01 = Transpose[{-(Transpose[p01data][[2]] -
       myestimatederror01), Transpose[p01data][[2]] -
      myestimatederror01}];

In[44]:=
errs31 = Transpose[{-(Transpose[p31data][[2]] -
       myestimatederror31), Transpose[p31data][[2]] -
      myestimatederror31}];

In[45]:=
MultipleListPlot[MapThread[List,
    {p01data, ErrorBar /@ errs}],
   MapThread[List, {p31data, ErrorBar /@ errs}]];

There is an overlapping of the error bars, but that is a problem with your
data: the errors associated with p31 are too large.
