[rdiff-backup-users] restore problem with special chars in the file name

[Toth Nandor (Csigas)]

Hi!

I have problems when i try to restore files with strange names. Backup
shows no problems.

rdiff-backup -r now --terminal-verbosity 5
address@hidden::/mnt/backup/mentesek_earth/earth_samba/shares/homes/kkocsis
~/kkocsis

The files has special hungarian characters in their names. We use a
samba file server. These files are put there via samba.

Log is attached, but the special characters are not shown. They are shown
incorrectly when i list it in a terminal window, but i can handle the
files with scp, cp and other basic unix commands.

I have a debian woody linux, rdiff-backup 12.5 and librsync 0.9.5-1.

Is there any way to correct this issue?

Thanks for any suggestions!

  Nandor
