Hi, thanks for the response! I'd definitely prefer if rdiff-backup handled the error gracefully by skipping the dir (and logging it somewhere?) rather than crashing (and thus stopping a backup expected to run overnight).

I couldn´t create a directory with "á" in it from shell either (so technically, there is nothing wrong with rdiff-backup), but OSError should probably be handled gracefully anyway :-)

$ mkdir á
mkdir: cannot create directory `\341': Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character

$ lsb_release -a

Thanks for rdiff-backup - it's a good and useful piece of software!
