--- Comment #1 from Wayne Davison <wayne at opencoder.net> ---
Macs use a weird utf-8-mac encoding that you need to make sure you're
specifying. If the iconv library complains about the encoding, then either the
encoding name is wrong or you have an invalid file that isn't named with the
specified encoding.

So, if you're running rsync on a mac and copying to/from a linux host, you
should be able to specify:

--iconv=utf-8-mac,utf-8

to specify the local & remote charset.
