Problem is solved, here is John's answer from help-octave:

,----
| OK, here is what is happening.  Octave and teTeX both use the
| kpathsearch library, and that library has some TeX-specific things in
| it.  One thing it does is add some variables to the environment when
| it is initialized.  So when Octave starts, it adds values for the
| following variables
| 
|   SELFAUTOLOC
|   SELFAUTODIR
|   SELFAUTOPARENT
|   TEXMFDBS
| 
| that are not appropriate for TeX.  The quick fix is to add
| 
|   unset SELFAUTOLOC
|   unset SELFAUTODIR
|   unset SELFAUTOPARENT
|   unset TEXMFDBS
| 
| before running latex in your script.  Another possible "fix" is to apply
| the following patch (relative to the current CVS sources).  I think a
| better long term solution would be to make it possible to initialize
| the kpathsearch library in a way that avoids the TeX-specific
| initialization stuff.
