RSYNC doesn't like Unicode?

I was using Rsync to copy favourites from one english UK XP sp2 machine to a Windows 2000 sp4 english UK machine.
No different language settings involved.

It just so happened that I had placed in my favourites some URLs with a few European characters in their name.

Something on Windows is tripping up Rsync that's for certain.
