Paul,
If you do this entire part in AppleScript, the problem solves itself.
set xFile to choose file of type "mov"

Mark & Peter,
Thank you for the tips. The issue (in LC 6.7.4) appears not to be the
manipulation of the file, but having some way of prompting the user to
select a file with Unicode in the path.
"answer file" - appears to return only native single byte text.
So it would appear the only way to allow a user to select a Unicode
based filespec is if I create my own "answer file" command/dialog that
supports Unicode - which i am not sure whether that is possible or not.
