Hi Caleb1987 - thanks for the answer, you are right: It all works when I explicitly use the 32-bit version of Python.
But I just discovered, that FeatureClassToFeatureClass to a personalgeodatabase with ArcCatalog also fails. No Python is involved, I right-click inside a personal geodatabase and choose "import". I get this errormessage:

Failed to execute (FeatureClassToFeatureClass).

Is there a workaround for this problem too?
Has ESRI announced a stop for supporting the .mdb-format with 64-bit?
If so, I will stop using it to avoid problems and workarounds. Some functions seems to work (i.e. create featureclass), while others do not.
Thanks a lot
