Octave-3.2.4 is ancient, better upgrade (current stable version = 3.6.4).

Then, xmlread and friends are essentially unmaintained. 
These days they live in the io package (of which I'm maintainer), but as the
source files barely have any comments and my XML proficiency is negligible I
can't fix them. As long as they still compile OK I keep them included in the
io package.
So there's little hope that the xml functions will be improved until someone
else fixes them.

Sorry,

Philip
