Ok, I now tried something else, which gives me weird results. I
exported the document to Latex (normal), and ran latex on that file. It
gave me the same biblatex error (unbalanced brackets or parantheses). I
quit, ran bibtex on the document anyway, which finished with many errors
about "whitespaces" in the aux. Now the weird part: I ran latex again,
it gave me no error and produced a dvi. Now, I reran bibtext, as well,
which finished without errors, as well, and so did any subsequent latex
runs. I did not edit the tex file or anything.
So basically, the document seems to be fine (no more unbalanced
brackets after latex/bibtex runs), but somehow it isn't so in the
beginning.
How can that be?
Many thanks,
Christian
