Ok, after struggling a bit I found that
the reason for the authentication error seems to be that 
index=300 type=HS_PUBKEY rwr- "FILE <mypath>/hs/svr_1/admpub.bin"
is not returned with the FILE contents substituted (what I have implicitly
expected). 

How is that supposed to work for authentication? The manual is full of
examples using FILE in HS_PUBKEY types. What is FILE for and how is it
actually used?
Propably I am missing some important point here ... 

I put the hex-Value of the admpub key as admin handle value and now it
works.

(BTW: you propably already noticed - the handle code compiles almost (some
"deprecated" notes) fine with 1.6 compliance settings after renaming
enum variables, cause enum is a keyword in 1.6, 
also I think in the build.xml file
the order of includes should be rather
  <!-- include user.properties file for custom config -->
  <property file="user.properties" />
  <property file="build.properties" />

cause only in this case user.properties will override build.properties
(in ant the first wins)
)


Thanks!
