ls: cannot access /tmp/oct-SZWwgP/..: No such file or directory
error: ls: command exited abnormally with status 2
error: called from:
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.2.0/m/miscellaneous/ls.m at line 66, column 2

For what it's worth, every time I type tmpnam I get a different temporary
directory.  Don't know if that helps or not, but I figure I'll mention it.
