Actually, I got hung up with the next problem. When trying to upload a new node via curl [1], I get "ActionController::UnknownAction (No action responded to create)" error page (404) [2] and an error log[3]. But the file node_controller.rb as well as the action "create" inside it exist. FYI: I use Webrick as Webserver. Can this be the problem?
