Dominik,

    In VecScatterCreate() is the new line   if (!ix && !iy) 
SETERRQ(((PetscObject)xin)->comm,PETSC_ERR_SUP,"Cannot pass default in for both 
input and output indices");
you can try taking that out and see what happens.

    The reason it is there is because, except for input vectors x and y with 
very specific layout having VecScatterCreate() create default index sets leads 
to errors (because how is it suppose to know what parts of the vector you want0 
and this is confusing for users.

     The best solution is for you to pass in an index set for either one or 
both of the IS arguments.
