I have encountered the same problem on windows, where adding "-n" to the emacsclient options causes it not to be found, most likely due to the space in the command.
The workaround I have found on windows is to change startup.m as follows:

if (ispc)
    emacsinit('"emacsclient --alternate-editor emacs -n"');
else
    emacsinit;
end

Notice the double quotes within the single quotes... I haven't tried it on linux, but Eric's suggestion should certainly work.

As far as the links for error messages are concerned, I'm also experiencing problems, with all matlab releases (R2006a, R2008a, R2009a).
In particular error messages of the kind:

??? Error: File: myscript.m Line: 57 Column: 15

do not seem to be covered by the regexp.

But great work, Eric ! You don't know how much I value what you've done, but I really, really regret Mathworks' decision to have dropped EmacsLink support...

Cheers,
David.
