Details:

Private directories are treated differently in matlab and octave. If in a
function a file from the private directory is loaded this is recognized by
matlab but not by octave, as in the following example where foo.mat resides in
/foo/private:


% /foo/fun.m
function y = fun()
   load foo.mat
end


%> cd /foo; octave --no-init-file -q
octave:> fun
error: load: unable to find file foo.mat
error: called from:
error:   /foo/fun.m at line 3, column 4
