Can you post your file 
/usr/share/denemo/actions/notes.l
it should be a copy of 

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=denemo.git;a=blob_plain;f=actions/notes.l;hb=HEAD

which does have whitespace at line 1 column 2.

presumably the Lex failure meant it didn't create 

/home/andreas/.denemo-2.2.11/actions/notes.l.scm

and so nothing came of it all.

If you get up the Scheme Script Window and put 

(version)

in the CLI and hit <Return> it should output to the terminal the Guile
version you are running inside Denemo. (Not that there is any reason
Guile 1.8 shouldn't be just fine as that was the version this LilyPond
importer was last developed with).

If the notes.l file is not corrupt I'll have to dig down into the
script that reads it (things like actions/lalr.scm ...)
