It seems, server side cannot do any conversions...
As I understand, sender side converts filenames to UTF-8 from source charset,
and receiver side converts from UTF-8 (transport charset) to destination charset.
If charset on server side (no matter receiving or sending) differs from UTF-8
(so conversion to/from UTF-8 must be done), then it always failed to iconv_open
(for unknown reason).

The same iconv_open succseeded, if the same conversion must be done in
rsync-client.
