You'll find the output of the following command in the attachment of this e-mail
(only stderr):
# sh -x grub-install --no-floppy --grub-setup=/bin/true "(hd0)"
The »--no-floppy --grub-setup=«-part is taken from Felix first e-mail, as I do
not want to install GrUB2 into my MBR until I'm not sure it works.

Sorry for messing up the size, I tried to recollect that from memory and wasn't
sure about the value anymore. ;)
The UUID you've given should be shown on the rescue console in that error
message, right? If that was the question, yes it is shown as the UUID value.

»rescue> set« yielded:
prefix=(hd1,5)(UUID=deed8901-3bdc-4912-a2c3-cff34ddeb147)/grub/
root=(hd1,5)

I hope, this helps in solving the problem.

Thank you for your replys,
Kai
