I think you may have made a few typos. e.g there's no "meka (wet)"
ports in the "connections after" list. Is that correct?
The suggestion made by allcoms to post the output of `lack_lsp -c` is
more reliable.

Anyway. Intuitively this _could_ be related to
 - using brackets in the port-names
 - having ardour's auto-connect ports option enabled.
but a quick test shows that both of these work just fine here.
I can't reproduce the problem you describe.

Since you're experiencing the problem with both ardour2 and 3:
Could it be that you have some JACK patchbay or session-manager running
that actually does make the connections?

It will help if you could post a complete walk-though how to reproduce
this problem, include version numbers of the tools and what linux
distribution you're using.

Maybe a long shot: but you could try to temporarily move away the
~/.ardour2 (or ~/.config/ardour3/) folder where ardour saves its state
and global config. Ardour will re-create those with default settings.

Another shot in the dark: JACK port names are ASCII. Are you running
this on a non-English or non-UFT8 locale?!
