Octave isn't Matlab despite it being similar and mostly syntax-similar.
While is OT here, from the error message I'd guess the problem is the format string isn't correct case for the month/hour/day fields...there's a difference between the old datenum and the new(er) datetime in who's upper- and who's lower- case; check the doc for "who's who in the zoo"...

The first entry is not parseable. The second others might have problems because of the spaces.
