Thanks! This fixes it perfectly for me.

This doesn't seem to work. I think I need utf-8 rather than utf8. 
Otherwise I get:

iconv_open("UTF-8", "utf8") failed

But if I set RSYNC_ICONV='utf-8,iso8859-1' (or 'utf-8,iso88591', which 
also seems to work) I get errors like this:

[generator] cannot convert filename: [path with extended chars] (Invalid 
or incomplete multibyte or wide character)

The LC_CTYPE thing seems to work, so I'm satisfied, but I thought I 
should report out that iconv per your suggestion didn't work.
