This is most likely because you have passed the -f option to octave in
your command line above. If you look at octave --help or read about
command line options in the manual [1], you'll notice that -f tells
Octave to not load initialization files. This is probably why your
script is not seeing functions from packages or other non-default
paths when called this way.

Can you say why you thought it was necessary to add the -f option or
where you saw that done in case there's some documentation we need to
fix?
