While somewhat natural, using 'list' as a local name and masking the
builtin list function is a *very bad* idea. Someday you will do this and
then use 'list(args)' expecting to call the list function, and it will
not work.
When the script reaches a file with latin characters (ê é ã etc) it crashes.
Traceback (most recent call last):

'\x8a' *is* the cp850 encoded byte for reverse accent e: è
But your program treats is a unicode value, where it is a control char
(Line Tabulation Set), and tries to encode it to cp850, which is not
possible.
I suspect this has something to do with defining the rootdir as a
unicode string: rootdir = u"D:\\ghostone"
Perhaps if you removed the 'u', your program would work.
Or perhaps you should explicitly decode the values in os.listdir(dir)
before joining them to the rootdir and re-encoding.
This sort of thing sometimes works better with Python 3.
Does someone knows how to fix this?
Thank you!
