Looks like the root problem may be that one filesystem is is using a
single-byte encoding, but the other is using multi-byte, and thus
rejects an attempt to write out a name that doesn't follow this
multi-byte convention.  There is a diff in the patches dir named
fname-convert.diff that provides a way to ask rsync to convert names
from one encoding to another.  I had been hoping to improve it a bit,
but have not done much with it yet.  You might want to give it a try.
