I've done some quick tests (I don't really use the pfstools octave bindings
myself) and stumbled across the following error message:

  error: built-in function cannot be indexed with {
  error: evaluating assignment expression near line 36, column 9

Line 36 looks like this (without indentation):

  command = argv{1};

Any ideas about this specific error? Is there any documentation about the
transition from 2.1 to 3.0? I had a very quick look at the documentation but
was unable to find anything useful for me.

TIA,
Sebastian
