Hi! Replying to my own post: Thanks Duncan for your hint to try the newest version! I did not think of this in the first place as I'm using the newest Ubuntu feisty fawn release which got released a couple of days ago. Nevertheless, the r-cran-hdf5 package is outdated and the newest one available at cran works again as I want it to.
So cancel this R bug and and account it for a user bug :-).
