Wrong.

Correct.

Provided you did cut&paste (or copied) this correctly, your keepass2
program is /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe (note the uppercase letters in the
final name) and must be run through 'cli', which seems to be /usr/bin/cli.

This is a very strange and dangerous PATH for a non-root user. It is most
likely set up by login scripts that have not run when openbox is started.

Your entry in menu.xml should look similar to:

   <action name="Execute">
     <command>/usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe --autotype</command>
   </action>

Note the use of lower- and uppercase!

But is seems that you have already started the program via autostart, hence
it is already running. Probably this prevents openbox from starting it?
