What created the HDF file that you are trying to read?  If it is an
arbitrary HDF file, then I don't think Octave will necessarily be able
to load it since I don't think all data types possible in HDF are
supported by Octave.

If you think you've found a bug in Octave, please submit a complete
bug report to the bug-octave mailing list, including enough
information so that someone might be able to reproduce the problem.
