Hi all,

Sorry for the late reply, I have been busy and didn't want to report  
back before I had done my best to make both solutions work. I could  
not make your solution work David but Eric's shell script did the job.

For os x users with the same problem:
I created the shell script described above
Added the folder to the search path
Changed the file permission
Added these lines:
         % Personal change to handle the space in emacsclient -n
         % -------------------------------------------------------
         clientcommand = 'myEmacsclient.sh';
         % -------------------------------------------------------
in the emacsinit file located in /some/path/matlab-emacs/toolbox/ just  
above the line
com.mathworks.services.Prefs.setStringPref('EditorOtherEditor',  
clientcommand);

I should mention that there are still problems with the all the links  
(If i find a solution i will post it), but the edit command now works  
as it should.

Cheers
Daniel
