Mac problem with octave.app and BBEdit

I have a problem with octave.app and BBEdit that just appeared when I  
installed the 3.0.1 version of octave.app. Here's the problem.

I have a script named "newLSPortf.m". It begins with the shebang line
    #!/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
Let's say the script is open in BBEdit.

If I do
    #! > Run in Terminal
in BBEdit, then the script runs perfectly and I get some output in a  
Terminal window.

On the other hand, if I do
    #! > Run
in BBEdit, then I get then same output in a "Unix Script Output"  
window followed by a list of warnings that all say the same thing:
    warning: load_path: ./Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/ 
share/octave/site/m: No such file or directory

This is definitely a problem between octave.app-3.0.1 and BBEdit. I  
have just reinstalled octave.app-3.0.0 and the warning messages no  
longer appear. BTW I am running BBEdit 8.7.2 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC G5.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem?

Regards,

Vic
