I had a look at mplayers's libmpdemux/dvbin.c:
it does not like the new-style vdr 4th field ("S19.2E" for example) but
wants a number (0...4) there.
You should remove empty lines, lines starting with ':', and lines
starting with '#' as well; if not, the channel name you enter won't
match the channel it is store under. If I'm not totally mistaken now...
Something like: mplayer dvb://1@"ZDF" should work then.

BTW: did my last test proposal actually work:
vdr(FF-card) running and mplayer(SS2) running _at_the_same_time?
Did you try it with both programs/cards tuned to the same channel?
