Thanks a lot, it's working now. It's the first time I tried the pbf 
splitter. The performance is great!!

Anyhow here are my wishes to the ongoing splitter development (don't 
know if this is a good place?):

* Apply the useful output-dir patch to the pbf branch
* Output format pbf (most wanted - where can we start to implement?)
* The output tiles should fill the complete bounding box of the input 
file. Sometimes it happens that areas without any data are not covered 
by the tile bounds. Example: 
http://dev.openstreetmap.de/aio/tiles/?zoom=7&lat=46.01815&lon=-3.47465&layers=B000000FFTFFFFF 
shows the tiles of the All-in-One-Map. On the left, top and right of 
tile 66210071 there are free areas that are not covered by a tile. So in 
the generated map there is a hole instead of sea.
