Thanks for the hint. I removed the 'exec echo' lines and now get the following
log:

local at vogone:~$ cat /var/log/idmapd.log 
idmapd stop/pre-start, process 848
local at vogone:~$ sudo status idmapd
[sudo] password for local: 
idmapd stop/waiting
local at vogone:~$ 

If i try to start idmapd manually it still works:

root at vogone:~# rpc.idmapd -v -f
rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: using domain: ABCDE.net

rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: loaded plugin /usr/lib/libnfsidmap/nsswitch.so for

root at vogone:~# mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs

Yes, if i keep the exec echo lines in the config file i get the pid with the
status command:

local at vogone:~$ status idmapd
idmapd start/running, process 884

Title:
  rpc.idmapd refuses to start

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The following lines in /etc/fstab are missing:

  rpc_pipefs      /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs      defaults        0       0
  nfsd    /proc/fs/nfsd   nfsd    defaults        0       0

  so rpc.idmapd refuses to start with this log:

  rpc.idmapd -v -f
  rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: using domain: blubberblase

  rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: loaded plugin
  /usr/lib/libnfsidmap/nsswitch.so for method nsswitch
