new to octave, confused about load(), dlmread et cetera

this seems to be the most asked question, but before I ask it, i'd like to
assure everyone i've been googling around for a couple of hours now and
haven't figured out where i'm going wrong, 

What i'd like to be able to do is load a bunch of column vectors from a csv
or text file (created by stata) and have octave grab the headers as variable
names.  I've tried all the functions I could find documentation on, but none
of them work... csvread ignores headers, dlmread is the same... and load() 
gives

error: load: failed to read matrix from file `ps1data.csv'
error: called from:
error:   readtest.m at line 9, column 1

error: load: failed to read matrix from file `ps1data.txt'
error: called from:
error:   readtest.m at line 9, column 1

for csv and tab delimit, respectively.   

any help would be appreeciated.
