(Get the code!)
The "ä" character in itself should not be a problem. It's probably not in the right encoding, but you don't see the problem because the text editor you used to read the file (gedit?) has automatically chosen the right encoding. You can open the text in LibreOffice and select UTF-8 for encoding to make sure the characters are correct.
If that's not the case, install the convmv package and use it to convert the invalid filenames to UTF-8. You have to know the encoding the filenames are using. Testing several settings is possible without any risk for the files as long as you do not add the --notest option.
