the '-f' option you are passing when starting Octave means [1]:

--norc
-f
Don’t read any of the system or user initialization files at startup. This is 
equivalent to using both of the options --no-init-file and --no-site-file.

so whatever you write in .octaverc will not matter when you run the script.

HTH,
