I believe this bit:
define('BP', dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(FILE))))));
does not work if the Autoload.php file is placed using modman. If you manually copy the file to docroot/app/code/local/Varien/Autoload.php I believe it works.
The dirname bit will traverse up the real path as opposed to the symlinked path. I also used an internal variable instead of BP because later on BP may be redfined which throws a notice.
thanks a lot for your feedback and your patches. I'm currently busy preparing for Magento Imagine and the Hackathon, but I'll have a close looks afterwards.
