Python doesn't like non-asc-ii characters in import module paths on Windows - in most cases in your Windows username and thus in your userprofile folder name.
This is because nobody actually bothers to do correct paths decoding to UTF-8 when importing external modules in XBMC addons. So, correcting the addon code aside (.decode('utf-8') in module import paths will help), all you can do is either to run XBMC under username which does not contain non-asc-ii characters (plain English + numbers only) or to run it in the portable mode from a folder which does not include non-asc-ii chars in its name.

It is caused by a special character in the user name.

You can run xbmc in portable mode with -p switch. You can modify the shortcut destination to something like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\XBMC.exe" -p

I don't get this. I've got the same script error, but I don't have a special character in my user name.
C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata

indeed it's Dutch and Google translated it perfect. But what does it tell me? I don't use passwords between the server and the HTPC, so why unauthorised permission? From what to where?
The mouse.xml-file
(MOD edit: Removed irrelevant in-line posted XML file)
works fine
The <mousemove>noop</mousemove> enables me to use the mousebuttons differently within Fullscreenvideo, else it will bring up the OSD. I did just found out that I should have placed it here C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\keymaps instead of here C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\system\keymaps. But I don't think it could have anything to do with that.
