I have often used umlauts in variable names, and never had problems. I've also experimented with Chinese and other exotic characters and everything works fine for me.
That error message is not one that PSPP generates. It looks like it is coming from the operating system. So I think this must be a case of OS-Mac being to clever for its own good.

I tried to fix your data file and seem to be successful. I send it to you attached to this e-mail. Please check it. BTW: Your choice of variable names is not optimal for data management apart from using German umlauts either. Good luck.
