Details:

* Octave cannot find the directory containing all function files. It just sais
No such file or directory when I try addpath

* If I cd other than the C drive it claims Permission denied

This bug is critical because it makes octave useless.

Operating system:
    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] 64-bit

Version of octave:
    GNU Octave, version 3.6.2

    Octave was configured for "i686-pc-mingw32".

My octave files are here (output in command processor):

D:\bin-win32\Octave\Octave3.6.2_gcc4.6.2\share\octave\3.6.2\m>ls
