Thanks for the ideas. I can't run the bacula client on the server, so I'm
forced to do things this way (I know it isn't, and that's a huge
understatement, the right way to do it). I'll try setting the iocharset
option and see if that works. I should have thought of that. It doesn't make
sense that Bacula would be causing this particular problem ;-)
