Hmm.  Works for me:

  octave:1> help hilb
  hilb is the user-defined function from the file
  /home/jwe/src/octave/scripts/special-matrix/hilb.m

   - Function File:  hilb (N)
       Return the Hilbert matrix of order N.  The i, j element of a
       Hilbert matrix is defined as

            H (i, j) = 1 / (i + j - 1)

Do you have Texinfo 4.0 installed?  Octave 2.1.x uses the newer
version of makeinfo to format help strings now.

Please consider subscribing to the octave-maintainers mailing list if
you are using Octave 2.1.x, and especially if you are doing
development work with it.

Thanks,

jwe
