Thanks for your reply!
I deleted the test from the python script and now xbmc starts on boot.
Unfortunately movies don't run smoothly. When I start a 720p movie and
log in with ssh to check the system load with top, xbmc uses around 100%
cpu.
When I disable the init.d script, reboot, login and start xinit xbmc-
standalone manually the same movie runs smoothly and uses only around 10%
cpu power.
