Figured it out. The so called "exclusive" mode is because of the application opening the port in "raw mode" So far I only used sequencer mode in my code and this did not bump into this situation.

I ready somewhere that some applications, like Bitwig, allocate(?) MIDI ports in "exclusive" mode so that other application cannot connect to the MIDI ports. I used Bitwig and confirmed that after starting Bitwig in qjackctrl you cannot connect any of the MIDI write/read ports. ( qjackctrl MIDI option is set to "none") I could not find any documentation on such "exclusive" feature though ?
