Perhaps it is a bug. I just created user dummy with home directory "/"
I run myexit.m file that contains a single line
exit

-bash-2.05b$ octave -qH /tumbleweed/dima/octave/myexit.m
error: Permission denied

If I do strace I get:

-bash-2.05b$  strace octave -qH /tumbleweed/dima/octave/myexit.m
...

read(3, "exit\n\n", 4096)               = 6
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 
0open("//.octave_hist", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0600) = -1 EACCES (Permission 
denied)
futex(0x1821494, FUTEX_WAKE, 2147483647) = 0
write(2, "e", 1e)                        = 1
write(2, "r", 1r)                        = 1

I'm calling Octave with the command 'octave -qH myfunction.m' so it
should't need to write to .octave-hist on exit.
