Simple Parallax Mapping not working properly

Hi, after my per pixel lightning and bump map shaders which work fine I now try to realize parallax mapping, first without occlusion and relief.

I read many tutorials about it and understood the math behind it.

In Vertex Shader my view or eye vector is converted to tangentspace:

I read out the height from the heightmap with and multiply it with the uniforms depthStrength and add bias:

offset_depth = (texture2D(normalMap, texCoord).a) * depthStrength + bias;

this offset gets multiplied with the viewVector which is in tangentspace

offset = offset_depth * viewVector_t.xy;

then I use this offset for my diffuse and normal texture coordinates:

diffuseMap = texture2D(textureDiffuse, texCoord + offset);
normal_t = texture2D(normalMap, texCoord + offset).rgb * 2.0 - 1.0;

here my vertex shader:

At some positions the parallax effect looks fine, if I rotate the cylinder, the offset is wrong (red) and should be like the yellow arrows.

Since hours I try to solve this but I have no idea.

thanks for help in advance
