I like your program, but how do i achieve to autostart the batchfile during
ubuntu startup or user login?

You can try "System Settings > Advanced > Autostart"

Enter the full commandline beginning with the executable like:

/usr/bin/FreeFileSync /home/zenju/SyncJob.ffs_batch

Entering the full command does not work either. But when i enter the full
cmdline in a terminal window, it does work fine.
Also adding the full cmd line to the /etc/rc.local file does not seem to work,
but when i execute the rc.local file myself it works again.

I'll try to investigate and google around further

Actually I haven't tried this myself, but as this is not related to FFS, but
about starting any program at Ubuntu start, Google should have an answer.
