Having a better look it seems this is a problem with global  
installation.
as m-files are instlalled under /usr/local/share and oct-files under / 
usr/local/libexec
it is not sufficient to set a relative path into PKG_ADD to add sub- 
directories to the path.

I do not see why PKG_ADD and PKG_DEL go only into
/usr/local/libexec/octave/packages/<pkg_name>/<arch_name>/
and not into /usr/local/share/octave/packages/<pkg_name>/

I don't know how to solve this at the moment so, for the time being,  
I suggest installing secs locally
on a per-user base
