That's a clever hack and it is surprising if it works. I would have assumed that PRESCHEDCMD forks a new shell process, and the parent process would do the backup and not inherit the environment from the child process. Here's an IBM document about the topic: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27012043&aid=1 Personally I would use LC_CTYPE=POSIX (or LC_CTYPE=C) if the scnenario is as follows: - system locale is UTF-8 (typical for any modern setup) - most file names are in UTF-8 or plain ASCII - but some files have file names in ISO-8859-1 or other 8-bit single byte character set. LANG=en_US works too (and that's what IBM recommends), but to me it feels wrong.
