You didn't happen to call your m-file roots.m did you? If so, then when it runs this script, it tries to call itself as a function when it hits this line:

 r = roots(p)

So it's trying to recursively call itself. But it's not a function that takes any arguments - it's just a simple script, so you get that error.
