I tried that! No effect. But... Suddenly it worked! I now think I to some extent might have been fooled by my desktop PC caching information where it shouldn't. I have never seen it before (have set oplocks in Samba) - but maybe the PC was overloaded and "forgot" about immediate write to desk. This could explain some of the things. At least it suddenly worked when the files were edited in a shell editor instead of textpad. It could be that when I thought I tried different combinations from the shell command line I really didn't - as they might not have been written to desk. Windows is a little special with files without anything before the dot. I dont think it explains it all though. I also recall to have had problems with dotfiles earlier and then making them work. I will stay out of dotfiles in combination with PHP in the future, just to be safe. Thanks for the suggestion...
