Hi Nasser,
Although this does not explain the weird behavior your reported, the
following expression should be close to what you are looking for. (The
trick is to explicitly tell Mathematica not to add any tick on the upper
and right frames.)
Needs["BarCharts`"]
BarChart[{1, 2, 3}, Frame -> True, BarLabels -> None,
FrameTicks -> {{1, 2, 3}, {0, 1}, None, None}]
HTH,
