for me $fcnfiledir is d:/octave/share/octave/2.0.13/m.  It contains 228
files in 18 folders totalling 387KB.  The directory structure is the same
as that of .../octave-2.013-i386-pc-cygwin32/scripts

It is there and a copy is attached

^                                                    This is where things
crashed but seemed to have
                                                    recovered.       (See
previous email)

                                                           Or perhaps it
was here.

and for me they are d:/octave/share and d:/octave/share/octave/2.0.13/m
respectively
