Ed,

thanks for the hint. I've discovered a typo in my codes and after fixing 
the wrong code, it works well. But I still get the error message 
sometimes. Do you know a solution, if the new username is already in 
use? Can I make a new account with a new username? Can I use

	[tmp auto_create]1[/tmp]
	[if type=explicit compare=|
		[userdb
			function=new_account
				assign_username=1
					password='[value zip]'
						verify='[value zip]'
		]
		|]
		[seti mv_autocreate]
			mv_username=[data session username]
			mv_password=[value zip]
		[/seti]
		Auto-created user [data session username].
	[else]
	[if type=explicit compare=|
		[userdb
			function=new_account
				assign_username=1
					password='[value zip]'
						verify='[value zip]'
		]
		|]
		[seti mv_autocreate]
			mv_username=[data session username]
			mv_password=[value zip]
		[/seti]
		Second Auto-created user [data session username].
	[else]
	Auto-create of user failed with [data session username] and [value zip].
	[perl] die errmsg("Auto-create of user failed."); [/perl]

	[/else]
	[/if]

	[/else]
	[/if]

to solve it?

Thank you very much!

Joachim
