That strsplit message comes from the java package, from javaclasspath.m
In octave-forge svn there's a newer java package version being prepared
by a.o., Martin Hepperle, but finalizing that will take some more time.

As a general remark, please show the exact Octave statements that lead
to this error. Otherwise we'll have to guess under what circumstances
the error occurs, and that doesn't quite help us understand what went wrong.
In this case however you're a bit lucky:
If you'd check the code in odsopen, you'll see the reason:
odsopen.m checks for an explicit ".ods" extension (w/o quotes).
That's because (AFAIK) the older OpenOffice.org formats are not
supported (though I suspect that jOpenDocument can read it, but I've
never tried - I haven't got old .sxc files lying around for testing).
Hint: it can often be very enlightening to first see for yourself why
error messages arise; that's one of the reason Octave spews out so much
info about where, in which source file, an error occurs.
I'll adapt the help text of odswrite to emphasize that extensions should
be specified explicitly, OK?

AFAICS you got all the jars in place - I see no Octave complaints about
that.
BTW Which versions of odfdom.jar & jopendocument.jar do you have? I'd
advise odfdom 0.8.6 and jOpenDocument 1.2b3 or newer.
I will drop support for earlier odfdom & jopendocument versions in a
next io pkg release anyway.

Specify the extension in odswrite like:
rstatus = odswrite ('somespreadsheetfile.ods', ..............)
