title string on vertical colorbar

I want to put a colorbar to the right of a plot; fortunately, MATLAB wants to do that too, so a plain call to colorbar works. However, I'd also like to put a readable title on the colorbar to identify the plotted variable & its units. I tried this
h = colorbar;
set(get(h,'title'),'string','ISCCP Daytime Sc Amount (%)');
MATLAB wants to put this above the colorbar (!) where it runs into the plot title. I can rotate the text
h = colorbar;
set(get(h,'title'),'string','ISCCP Daytime Sc Amount (%)','Rotation',90.0);
but it's still centered up above the vertical colorbar. Trying to calculate a position for it in colorbar-relative coordinates is a real pain. Is there another way to correctly position this metadata alongside the colorbar?

Simple Solution for this.
h = colorbar;
set(get(h,'label'),'string','ISCCP Daytime Sc Amount (%)');
That way, it will no longer be on top of the colorbar but beside it. :)

This is kind of hack, but how about this:
h = colorbar;
ylabel(h, 'foo')
