bvp4c failing to produce the correct solution

I'm running the following:
function M = SwirlingFlow(~)
M = bvpinit(linspace(0,30),@VKinit);
options = bvpset('RelTol',1e-8);
sol = bvp4c(@VK,@VKbc,M,options);
figure;
hold all;
plot(sol.x,sol.y(2,:));
plot(sol.x,sol.y(4,:));
hold off;
xlabel('\zeta')
xlabel('\zeta')
hleg = legend('F\prime','G\prime','Location','NorthEast'); %#ok<NASGU>
figure;
hold all;
plot(sol.x,sol.y(1,:));
plot(sol.x,sol.y(3,:));
plot(sol.x,(-1)*sol.y(5,:));
hold off;
xlabel('\zeta')
hleg = legend('F','G','-H','Location','East'); %#ok<NASGU>
disp('Value of F''(0)')
a = sol.y(2,1);
disp(a)
disp('Value of G''(0)')
b = sol.y(4,1);
disp(b)
disp('Value of H(infinity)')
c = sol.y(5,end);
disp(c)
function yprime = VK(~,y)
yprime = [ y(2)
y(1)^2-y(3)^2+y(2)*y(5)
y(4)
2*y(1)*y(3)+y(4)*y(5)
-2*y(1)];
function res = VKbc(ya,yb)
res = [ya(1);ya(3)-1;ya(5);yb(2)-(ya(1)*yb(5));yb(4)-(ya(3)*yb(5))];
function yinit = VKinit(~)
yinit = [0;0.5102;1;-0.6159;0];
I'm sure all the initial values and boundary conditions are correct (I have confirmed the initial conditions using a shooting method). I know exactly how the solution should look and I know that the value of
-H(infty)=0.8845
but using the bvp4c solver it fails to produce the correct solution. Can anybody help debug this?
Thanks.
