Thanks Jan that solved my problem.

To those who may be browsing the mail archive:

If the attribute is a drop-down list one can find out the value that will
be used by viewing the HTML source in ones browser.
E. g. the workCountry attribute will process two letter codes, not names.

Change the attribute defintion in attributes.local.php accordingly:

$attributes['workCountry'] = array(
    'label' => _("Work Country"),
    'type' => 'country',
    'required' => false,
    'params' => array('prompt' => true),
    'default' => 'DE' // <-- or whatever
);
