Correct! After spending two evenings for debugging I found that the NIT
does not contain the correct symbol rate. vdr automatically adjusted
the symbol rate according to the NIT -> 5630.

For low symbol rates the ves1893 will lock if (and only if) the symbol
rate has been set correctly. 5632 works, 5631/5633 won't.
Register programming in the driver appears to be ok.

@Klaus:
http://www.lyngsat.com/i1002.html specifies SR 6111 for your
transponder. Does it work if you change the SR to 6111?
