Are you sure you are launching the command above from the unpacked directory
were there is a PKG_ADD file?  From the unpacked octave-combinatorics
directory, with the debian stuff added, I get:

$ ls -l PKG_ADD
-rw-r--r-- 1 rafael rafael 84 Feb 16 10:14 PKG_ADD
$ octave3.0 -f -H -q --no-site-file --eval
         "addpath ('/usr/share/octave/debian/m', '-begin'); \
         pkg ('prefix', [pwd(),'/debian/octave-combinatorics/usr/share/octave/packages'],       \
         [pwd(),'/debian/octave-combinatorics/usr/lib/octave/packages']);          \
         pkg ('local_list', [pwd(),'.']);               \
         pkg ('global_list', [pwd(),'.']);              \
         pkg -verbose -nodeps install ."
error: `fullfile' undefined near line 1 column 22
error: evaluating argument list element number 2
error: near line 1 of file `./PKG_ADD'
error: source: error sourcing file `./PKG_ADD'

Thomas, could you please try this too?
