Works like a charm on Fedora 10, mpc 0.16 and OpenBox 4.3.7.2.

A typical pitfall for such a situations is that the command mpc is not
available to openbox. For example, it could be in /usr/local/bin and
/usr/local/bin is added to PATH *after* openbox was started.

Just a wild guess (and I'd really expect mpc to be in /usr/bin and
therefore available to openbox ... ).
