I am not familiar with the protocol at all, but my guess (without 
looking at the octave code) is that two of these three commands

 > usbkeith.write("SYST:REM" + "\n")
 > usbkeith.write(":SENS:VOLT:PROT 1.5\n")
 > usbkeith.write(":OUTP:STAT ON\n")

before the loop have responses that you need to read (and toss?)

usbkeith.readline(); usbkeith.readline()

so that the first values you read in the loop are the one that should be 
first. In other words, make sure the read buffer is clear before the loop.
