I know that pytables should be able to read most of the HDF5 datafiles created 
by octave, but the inverse is not necessarily true. This is because pytables 
does support a broad range (but still, far from complete) of HDF5 features, 
while octave only a few.

I don't know, but my guess is that octave doesn't support chunked datasets. 
Try to pass only a pytables files populated with Array objects (these are not 
chunked datasets) so as to see if octave can read them.

Luck!
