The next thing is, I gave you not the correct hint, since it's not
date=long, but urldate=long for the urldate. Note that the month will
come out abbreviated as long as you use 'abbreviate=true' (which is the default). Thus, for a full month, you should use the options
'urldate=long' and 'abbreviate=false'.

I have entered that now.
Interestingly, the other abbreviations are still there ("Hrsg.", "Bd."), and the month is now displayed as abbreviated word of the month, e.g. "(besucht am 15.Jan.2005)".

I cannot reproduce that. Are you sure that abbreviate=false is set and active? Do you have other settings in biblatex.cfg? Which versions are you using? You can easily check the versions by adding \listfiles to your preamble, then a file list is appended to the .log file. I use the following package versions:

etoolbox.sty    2009/08/06 v1.8 e-TeX tools for LaTeX
     url.sty    2006/04/12  ver 3.3  Verb mode for urls, etc.

Is there any special way in which I would have to enter the calendar
date in BibDesk?

e.g.: urldate = {2009-11-20}
For further details see the biblatex documentation

Is there also a possibility to get a blank space before the month’s
name?

It should be there, and it is in my documents. So you seem to have altered something that causes this behaviour. If I use your minimal example you sent earlier and add the biblatex options 'urldate=long,abbreviate=false', everything is fine (and the abbreviations disappear).

8<----------------------------------->8
\DefineBibliographyStrings{ngerman}{%
 november = {November}
}
8<----------------------------------->8

In this case I get the following error:
Package babel Error: You haven't loaded the option ngerman yet.
and I don´t know what this means…

My example uses the language 'ngerman' which you have adapt if you are using another language like 'english' or 'german' or whatever. In your example you had the following line:
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
So I assume that you are using 'ngerman' as your default language and the above example should work.
