It's not clear to me where the problem really occurs but I somehow can see that
Octave isn't started. I also mentioned a similiar problem if I use a shebang
line for a /usr/bin/tclsh script - so I expect it's somehow caused by the OS
(at
least on my 10.4 system it looks the same as on your 10.5 system).
But the good news is that I've a workaround for you, use the following shebang
line and then Octave starts up and should produce the output that you desire:
#!/bin/sh /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave --quiet
disp ('hello');
