This warning comes from the fact that you have used mopen on this file.
Try mclose(fd) (where fd is the variable you get from mopen) or 
mclose('all').
However this is not related to your problem.

load is a function to load a scilab variable written with save not to 
load text files (see help('load')).

How is you text file formatted?

If it is CSV (comma-separated values), try read read_csv.

Otherwise you have to open the file (with mopen) and load data with mscanf.
If you have some experience in C it should not be a big deal.
