Aug 10, 2013 at 9:11 comment added rita Assume $X=Y$. Then locally the map of vector bundles is given by a matrix with entries regular functions and the question becomes: can a nonzero regular function be zero at every point? if this happens, then $X$ has an irreducible component all of whose points are non-reduced.

Aug 10, 2013 at 6:41 comment added Falter Yes, but this is indeed the question. So Angelo's example shows that the claim is false for schemes $X$ which are not reduced. The question remains if it holds for reduced $X$.
Aug 10, 2013 at 0:13 comment added Piotr Achinger I think Angelo's comment dealt with the slightly different situation when you assume that the map is zero on the fibers of the two vector bundles. Then indeed $X=Y=Spec\, k[x]/(x^2)$, $\phi=x: O_X\to O_X$ is zero on the fiber i.e. after diving by $x$.

Aug 9, 2013 at 19:01 comment added Falter Dear Angelo, thank you for the comment. It would be nice if you could slightly elaborate it. I also think that the assumption of $X$ reduced is not bad for me, so the question remains if the claim holds for $X$ reduced (I edited the question at this point).
Aug 9, 2013 at 18:50 comment added Angelo Consider the case that $X = Y$, $f = \mathrm{id}_X$, $\cal U = \cal V = \cal O$, and $X$ is not reduced.
