Hi,

I think your problem is that the shebang line

  #!/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave -qf

does not work. The reason why this actually doesn't work is Mac's sh which (I 
read this on several cites for other programs) does not accept shebang lines 
with more than 31 characters for the startup script... Your workaround for this 
could be this shebang line instead:

  #!/bin/sh /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave -qf

Hope this helps,
best regards

  Thomas
