Dynare parallel Error: Attempt to execute SCRIPT mymod as a function:

Estimation
1

When I run:

dynare ls.mod parallel conffile=Config.txt parallel_test

I get: Test for Cluster computation, computer localhost … Passed!

But when I want to run:

dynare ls.mod parallel conffile=Config.txt, I am getting this message:

Estimation::mcmc: Write details about the MCMC... Ok!
Estimation::mcmc: Details about the MCMC are available in ls/metropolis\ls_mh_history_0.mat

Do not name your mod-file ls as this is a Matlab command
The error happens in

i.e. where Matlab calls the ls-command

Thanks a lot dear jpfeifer. That solved my problem.
