Details:

odswrite currently fails when writing to an .ods file that is not in octave's
working directory. This is using the 'OCT' interface and the octave-io 2.2.2-1
package using the zip 3.0 Package on Debian.

Example call of odswrite:

retVal=odswrite("../someDir/someFile.ods", someArray, 1, "A1:Z31", "OCT");


The error message is

zip I/O error: No such file or directory
zip error: Could not create output file (../someDir/someFile.ods)


Interestingly the return value of odswrite indicates success (=1).
