matlab svd (cula_link) fails (sgesdd vs sgesvd)

No one seems to have noticed (or I'm doing something wrong?):
The CULA link interface for Matlab
(as discussed at http://www.culatools.com/blog/category/interfaces/)
fails to engage the GPU when calling the MATLAB svd command.
Looking at the log the interface dumps shows that that matlab svd command is now calling LAPACK sgesdd, instead of sgesvd. Looking at the supported LAPACK svd functions in CULA, it seems that sgesdd is not one of the supported/implemented routines, so it makese sense that the link interface just falls back to the Intel MLK BLAS/LAPACK for sgesdd (on the CPU only -- no speedup using a GPU for MATLAB svd, for now).
It seems that sgesdd is not even supported in CULA premium, which is especially disappointing.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? Is anyone using CULA link with MATLAB?
Given that gsesvd is slower than sgedd, I'm also noticing that the user defined MEX routines (also mentioned on the above interfaces blog page) are not faster than the MATLAB svd command. That is, culaSvd(A) mex/cula routine is not faster than the default MATLAB svd(A) [with link interface not used).
So, there is no version of CULA (link iterface or user mex call to CULA routines) that I know of that is faster than Matlab's (version 2011a) own built in svd (running on 8 cores on dual xeon). Even with high end GPU cards (tried both TELSA 2050 and GTX 580). Is this really true, or am I doing something wrong?
