I used the exact same file, sorry for not beeing clear. I really
appreciate your help. Too sad, it doesn't work for my system, mh.

A diff of my current file (current upstream + totem&vlc entries) to your
posted file shows the changes for tiff extensions:

Thanks for the hint, I managed to change the default for mp4 (example
posted above) to vlc. Although evince cannot access
/etc/gnome/defaults.list it knows that vlc is now the default. However,
the error remains. /var/log/kern.log says
