using iconv - how?

[Yan Seiner]

I am trying to use iconv to copy files from a UTF-8 machine to a iso8859 
machine.  The target is an embedded box with no UTF-8 support.

I've tried both --iconv=utf-8,iso88591 and --iconv=. and the result is 
the same:

[sender] cannot convert filename: Chris Botti _ Michael Bubl\#351 
(Invalid argument)
[sender] cannot convert filename: Stan Getz/Ballads and Bossa Nova/\#311 
Preciso Perdoar.mp3 (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character)
[sender] cannot convert filename: Stan Getz/Compact Jazz/So Dan\#347o 
Samba (I Only Dance S.mp3 (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide 
character)
[receiver] cannot convert filename: Unknown Artist/Unknown 
Album/\#345\#265\#220- Believe (PV).mp3 (Invalid or incomplete multibyte 
or wide character)
[generator] cannot convert filename: Unknown Artist/Unknown 
Album/\#345\#265\#220- Believe (PV).mp3 (Invalid or incomplete multibyte 
or wide character)
[receiver] cannot convert filename: Yothu Yindi/Tribal 
Voice/Dj\#303\#244pana.mp3 (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide 
character)
[generator] cannot convert filename: Yothu Yindi/Tribal 
Voice/Dj\#303\#244pana.mp3 (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide 
character)

And the file is not copied.

Can anyone suggest where I should look?  I built rsync with iconv 
support, the libraries are in place, and it's clearly trying to do 
something and failing.
