Saving sparse directy is not implemented. Octave does not currently
provide the required hooks.

Try this:

SAVING:
       [spvar.i, spvar.j, spvar.v, spvar.nr, spvar.nc]= spfind(spvar);
       save('-binary', file,'spvar');

LOADING:
      load(file);
      spvar= sparse( spvar.i, spvar.j, spvar.v, spvar.nr, spvar.nc );
