Well, a quick check of your post in vim, with "8g8" shows no illegal UTF
characters anywhere. With "g8" you can read the UTF-8 for the character
under the cursor, e.g. é is "c3 a9".

Thanks for the tip - I am not much of a vim specialist

I'd elide characters from a sample filename, until gsutil stops
complaining. Then do a g8 on the offending character. Then you'd have
have specific fault diagnostics for a bug report, if that's the way it
goes. (It's two-to-one in favour, so far.)




As much as I would want to help Google write better tools for its customers * I really need to get this done so that I can actually get a sever migration done before tomorrow. I have ended up using:

# find filenames I want to change
find . -regex '.*[é].*' > /root/bad.txt

# use PHP to write a bash script
## Because I can code in PHP but it suffers from the same encoding issue

# Execute a bash file to copy & delete files

Elegant? No. Does the job? Yes

* There are two faults that I have with the  gsutil -m rsync applications:

1) Does not skip on the file - one broken file means backup no-worky
2) The error message breaks that file name across two+lines so does not paste right into the shell.

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Piers
