There are several reasons I can think of. Some
issues I can think of:

- Are you using them from a SCRIPT, or from a
function? This probably has an effect.

- Never put the private directory itself on the
search path, only the directory above it.

- Is your directory within the Matlab toolbox
directories? This is a big no-no.
