Thanks! the problem was the missing comma, as I had the backquote
already there. This must have changed some time ago, as I used these
templates before. This is working now.

But now I realized that my other in-file capture templates are giving
the same message. Here is one of my in-file capture templates:

,----
| (setq org-capture-templates
|       `(
|         ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;::
|         ;; In File Logging ::
|         ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;::
|         ("p"   "Problem to be logged in buffer"    
|          entry   (file+headline (buffer-file-name) "QUESTIONS")  
|         ...
|         ))
`----

I assume it also has to do with the evaluation, but putting a comma in
front of (buffer-file-name) does not change anything. 

Thanks,

Rainer
