That doesn't fail but...

as usual strace *was really* my friend :-).

strace -p `pidof volserver`:

Some of those "+"-directories of c.sscd.readonly seems to have still existed
and to have contained files, volserver wanted to create, not just open.
After deleting them, the problem was gone.

Thank you very much, Derrick.
