No, but could it be that there is a problem with upper/lowercase?
My Windows login is "fischron" (all lower case), but when I send
email, the address is "FischRon.external@infineon.com". Of course
spelling does not matter in email, but maybe this is a hint that
my user id is written in different case on two different places,
where it really should have been written in the same way?

Actually, the permission problem was identified to be wrong Windows
properties (see my related posting under the heading "ssh ceased
to work after recreation of /etc/passwd"), and after I manually
changed these permissions for file x, it now behaves fine. However
I include here the cacls output for another file where I did not
correct the Windows file properties yet - maybe you can see extract
additional useful information from it:
~/tmp $ cacls tg.pl
h:\tmp\tg.pl EU\fischron:C
EU\MUC-ADM-FileOperators-Home-L:C
VORDEFINIERT\Administrators:F
EU\MUC-ADM-FileOperators-L:F
Here in contrast a file which works:
~/tmp $ cacls y
h:\tmp\y EU\fischron:(Beschr"nkter Zugriff:)
STANDARD_RIGHTS_ALL
DELETE
READ_CONTROL
WRITE_DAC
WRITE_OWNER
SYNCHRONIZE
STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED
FILE_GENERIC_READ
FILE_GENERIC_WRITE
FILE_READ_DATA
FILE_WRITE_DATA
FILE_APPEND_DATA
FILE_READ_EA
FILE_WRITE_EA
FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES
FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES
EU\Domain Users:(Beschr"nkter Zugriff:)
READ_CONTROL
SYNCHRONIZE
FILE_GENERIC_READ
FILE_GENERIC_WRITE
FILE_READ_DATA
FILE_WRITE_DATA
FILE_APPEND_DATA
FILE_READ_EA
FILE_WRITE_EA
FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES
FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES
Jeder:(Beschr"nkter Zugriff:)
READ_CONTROL
FILE_READ_EA
FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES
I have also attached the trace.txt of
strace -o trace.txt chmod 660 tg.pl
