Unable to read MAT-File . . . file may be corrupt

Hello Mathworks -

I developed a function that reads a structure array from an existing *.mat file. When running the code from the Matlab command prompt (i.e., interpretive) using R2012b on a 64-bit Linux cluster, everything works fine. However, when I compile the same function via "mcc", the function initializes fine, but ultimately gives me the following error when reading the existing *.mat file:

Unable to read MAT-file. File may be corrupt.

The file is not corrupt as it can be read properly from the Matlab command prompt without difficulty. The file is small (~2 MB), but is highly sparse. Poking around on your website suggests the error message is likely due to too large of a file size or spaces within the variable name(s), but neither of these are the case.

What can I do to make the Matlab compiler behave as well as the Matlab command line? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.
