I'm no expert on fo properties, Daniel, but here is a reference to the properties available for margins on an inline:
http://www.schemacentral.com/sc/fo11/ag-fo_common-margin-properties-inline.html
And I suspect the box model shown on this page will be helpful in visualizing things: http://www.w3schools.com/xslfo/xslfo_blocks.asp
Something else that might be helpful here: What I did to test your properties was hack my system so that I could generate pdf directly from fo without rebuilding the fo from scratch, and I plan to make a permanent change to my system to make it easy to do that when needed. I'm using ant, so I just removed the dependencies from the target that processes the fo file through, in our case, the XEP formatter.
You could do something like that, or, if you haven't already, figure out a command line for converting fo to PDF ... and that way you can directly insert fo properties in a document, build the pdf, and inspect the results until you figure out the required set of properties for the look you want.

Hello Aaron,
thanks for the help. The border is now
solid, but the right margin is still missing. I tried finding the error
by eliminating the other properties, but it didn't work.
Any other suggestions how I could fix
the problem?
Greetings,
Daniel Keyes

Re: [docbook-apps]
Wrong PDF output: Custom button-format is only displayed in the Oxygen
Editor and HTML, but not in PDF. Frame is missing.
Sent by:
Looks like you're most of the way there, but I don't see
any properties in your fo:inline element to add a border. The rest
look okay, and work fine in my environment.
In the line that starts:
<fo:inline background-color
add this:
<fo:inline border-style="solid" background-color
And then you may need to set other properties to get the
precise look that you want.
