Don't worry I reply quickly to in general to the octave lists (typically
without reading what I've written) to minimize the time I spend and so
make errors.

As this is in a system config file, I'd probably suggest a small
alteration to that like
if (exist("~/fitx_config/octave/octaverc","file")
source ("~/fitx_config/octave/octaverc");
endif
so that users that choose not to have this file don't get an error...
