This puts a colon at the beginning and end of your LOADPATH.  That
would tell Octave to search the default path first and then (uselessly)
again at the end.  Are you sure you want that?

BTW, I think the current Octave manual has a fairly good description
of how to use LOADPATH.  There is also an index entries for "startup files".
