How to avoid a "Failed to start pool" error when running simultaneous matlab jobs

When submitting multiple MATLAB jobs in quick succession via a queueing system, and using the parpool function to do parallel calculations, you may intermittently encounter errors such as:

“Failed to start pool. Error using save. Unable to write to MAT-file mnt/zfsusers/orra/.matlab/local_cluster_jobs/R2018a/Job11.in.mat. The file may be corrupt.” “Failed to locate and destroy old interactive jobs.” “The storage metadata file does not exist or is corrupt.”
