They are. PostgreSQL will validate that input into a UTF-8 database is
actually UTF-8, and since bacula performs no conversion of character
sets, the filenames have to be UTF-8 to work.

You can switch the datbase to SQL_ASCII instead of UTF-8 to get rid of
this verification. This will of course get rid of things like encoding
specific sorting as well,b ut there is no way to deliver that properly
for invalidly encoded data anyway.

Doesn't it display it correctly as long as the encoding that bacula runs
under is the same as the file? I think that's what I've been seeing, but
I could be remembering wrong.

Meaning if you run the console on the same machine that files are on,
the filenames should look the same?
