Actually, this is a little more complicated than I thought. When I mount 
the rsync target linux drive as a Samba share from the WinXP box, the 
files appear to have the correct accents on the destination. But when I 
view them from the linux box, they have scrambled accents -- either just 
?'s if I use ls (must be a terminal issue), or different nonstandard 
characters that aren't the right extended characters if I redirect the 
output to a file and then view that.

I'm just trying to get back the behavior from before the upgrade. Thanks 
for any suggestions.
