These are quite fatal errors and need to be corrected ... as I am sure you are 
aware.

Yes, but there are problems with PostgreSQL. I assume that these problems are 
due to the fact that users can create or have created non-UTF-8 filenames, 
but I am not sure.

Please look at the top of the file create_postgresql_database as released for 
version 1.38.10 (it may also be in 1.38.9).  It will explain some of the 
problems and possible solutions.  Since you probably created the database 
under 1.36.3, it probably did not have the encoding set to avoid these 
problems.   Please also check the datestyle as it also occassionally gives 
problems if you have something different specified.

Note, Bacula consoles display/input characters correctly (WYSIWYG) *only* if 
everything is UTF-8 (on *nix machines). Windows is a whole different story.
