well, still error with version 2.9.12 and python 2.5b2:

commandline:>python C:\Programme\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-book.py 
--output=output --psfonts "_longpath_\tex_test01.tex"


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Programme\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-book.py", line 76, in 
<module>
    import lilylib as ly
RuntimeError: unable to get modification time from 
'C:\Programme\LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current\python\lilylib.py'

wtih version 2.9.11 it seems to work if i had a valid (structure wise) 
tex document...
