Looks like the binary files from the miscellaneous package haven't been 
installed properly somehow.

Can you check (in Octave):
 which cell2csv
 which csv2cell
 which waitbar
 which csvexplode
 which csvconcat
 which partarray
 which xmlread

If you can't find them, check if the miscellaneous subdir is in the 
path. In Octave do
 path
and look for something like
"miscellaneous-1.0.11/i686-pc-linux-gnu-api-v48+"
(with some part of a file path prepended)

If this doesn't lead to success, try to simply reinstall the 
miscellaneous pkg, first by your distro's package management system, if 
that still fails,  directly from Sourceforge.
(in Octave:)
 pkg install -forge -verbose miscellaneous

It looks like you need to be root to do this (otherwise Octave wouldn't 
have the script files under /usr/share/......   )
