Comment(by rossk):

 I dont think we have a path problem because "scilab -nogui" works with the
 1+1 example ... other than a complaint about the -nogui switch i.e.
 {{{
 Startup execution:
   loading initial environment
  !--error 999
 Scilab 'GUI' module disabled in -nogui or -nwni mode.at line     117 of
 function toolboxes called by :
 toolboxes(SCI+'/contrib');
 line     2 of exec file called by :
   exec(SCI+'/contrib/loader.sce');
 line   127 of exec file called by :
 exec('SCI/etc/scilab.start',-1);;


 -->1+1
  ans  =

     2.
 }}}
 (a "benign" error/warning couldnt possibly be the problem could it!?)

 sage -t threw MANY errors (i.e. more than those listed)

 The scilab('1+1') and eval.scilab('1+1') with scilab selected in notebook,
 all reported "cant start scilab".

 This "couldnt start scilab"
 {{{
 %scilab
 1+1
 }}}

 and the 3 lines of code in a cell

 {{{
 -----------------
 #!py
 %scilab
 1+1
 -----------------
 }}}

 returned

 {{{
 Traceback (click to the left of this block for traceback)
 ...
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

 Traceback (most recent call last):    %scilab
   File "", line 1, in <module>

   File "/tmp/tmp7iOaVh/___code___.py", line 3
     %scilab
     ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

 }}}

 (Im almost wondering if the error being thrown about -nogui IS the
 problem)
