To complete this question for the archives.

i missed sbin in my PATH environment variable.

Resource Agents (when called from clumgrd) have a default path without
sbin. At the beginning of my agent i also included sbin, but i didn't
export it. When calling ocf_log, the actual log is done by a call to
"clulog" which is in sbin. As the path of the included shellscript is
not changed, it is not found.

so the beginning of the resource agent is

LC_ALL=C
LANG=C
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
# remember to export path, so ocf_log function can find its clulog binary
export LC_ALL LANG PATH

. $(dirname $0)/ocf-shellfuncs
