[Nirfast] Error using matlabpool

[Hamid Dehghani]

As the error states, it is an issue with matlab back compatibility.
You can either fix this yourself, by manually updating the command of 
matlabpool.
Alternatively, you can replace parellel_init.m with the following function

function result = parallel_init()

% parallel_init()
%
% Initializes the parallel workers if the toolbox is available
%
% result is 1 if succesful, 0 otherwise

if (exist('matlabpool')) % Start labs if necessary.
     sz = matlabpool('size');
     if (sz ==0)
         matlabpool('open');
     end
     % Check we got some now.
     sz = matlabpool('size');
     if (sz ==0)
         error('Failed to open parallel workers');
         result = 0;
     else
         fprintf('Running on %d workers\n', sz);
         result = 1;
     end
else
     result = 0;
end
