"Permission denied" sounds familiar to me. At work, where the IT dept locked
down my box, I got the same errors and it took me a while to discover the
cause. In my case it related to Octave's history file.

Do:

  history_file

to find out where Octave wants to write to. Or do:

  help history_file

to learn more.

I changed the value in my ./share/octave/<version>/m/startup/octaverc file
to something acceptable for my PC.
