And to make this even more bizarre, it works always when defining the 
entry as:

   label de
     menu label ^German keyboard (de)
     kernel kbdmap.c32
     append maps/de.ktl

but only fails on the commandline (and works fine from the menu) when 
defined as:

   label de
     menu label ^German keyboard (de)
     kernel kbdmap.c32 maps/de.ktl

Kind regards,
