You gave the solving hint: The crendetials have to be written with quotes!
I simply copied the pap-secrets where no quotes are used.

Gladly, there's no need any more to dive into it that deep.
I already wrote a pcap file but had the next challenge to get it over 
the serial interface. I do not need to learn that now.

Erich, I don't think that's a case für the patch-team unless there could 
be a commented example entry in the chap-secrets file with quoted 
credentials

Thanks again to everybody!
