SetNormFactor will not work for a THStack. The function stores one parameter in the object to normalize the histogram at drawing time. It cannot cope with the case of multiple normalization factors. Instead you should use TH1::Scale. This function will recompute the bin contents according the specified scale factor. It will be ok with a THStack.
