Thank you Christoph for your Suggestions. I'll try a bigger scale factor.
BTW: I was wondering if wjk pressure-correction does a better job in this 
case....However, i couldnt find out where to put the 
"<paricle_dens>...</particle_dens> tags..
I tried to include it in my "bond"-block:
....
  <bonded>
    <name>bond</name>
    <min>0.200175</min>
    <max>0.549825</max>
    <step>0.00035</step>
    <inverse>
      <target>bond.dist.tgt</target>
      <p_target>1.0</p_target>
      <post_update>pressure</post_update>
      <do_potential>0 1 0</do_potential>
      <post_update_options>
        <pressure>
          <type>wjk</type>
          <do>1 1 1</do>
          <wjk>
            <scale>0.05</scale>
            <particle_dens>1.1</particle_dens>
          </wjk>
        </pressure>
      </post_update_options>
      <lammps>
        <table>bond.pot</table>
      </lammps>
    </inverse>
  </bonded>

...as well as into the inverse-block:

  <inverse>
    <kBT>2.49435</kBT>
    <particle_dens>1.1</particle_dens>
    <program>lammps</program>
    <lammps>
      <script>my.in</script>
      <topol>topol.xml</topol>
      <traj>traj.dump</traj>
    </lammps>
    <initial_configuration>maindir</initial_configuration>
    <filelist>conv_tables.sh my.in cg_50x300.data topol.xml cg.dump 
eval_press.sh</filelist>
    <iterations_max>60</iterations_max>
    <method>ibi</method>
    <log_file>inverse.log</log_file>
    <map>mapping.xml</map>
  </inverse>
</cg>

I guess Im not providing the value at the correct place in my settings.xml?

Regards,frank.
