Are you rsync-ing with a mounted samba directory (using mount -t smbfs ...)? Because I'm having a problem similar to this one with filenames with special characters.
There is a bug on the system (bugs.samba.org) relating to smbmount (and special characters) that is yet to be fixed and I'm hoping that this will fix our problems after days of fiddling with iocharset= and codepage= . As well as unix charset = and dos charset = in smb.conf. Nobody looks to have any answers on the samba list either.

I'm based in Norway, with scandinavian clients. Of course we use several "special characters" in our keymap, which is not supported in US keyboards etc. I know there is a better word for this, unfortunatly i can't remeber it, so i hope you get my point. The problem have been found when trying to transferr mySQL databases and some other files like mail etc through rsync. Every "non-us" character is not transferred correct, but replaced with other characters like a square, pundsign etc. Is there a "workaround" to this problem, or will i have to move these files manually? Both computers are configured with the Norwegian (NO) keymap.
