rsync - Apr 2005 - files and directories with accented characters are destroyed

On Mac OS X (mini Mac), using rsync with --delete option to backup a
linux Box, all the file and directories with accented characters are
destroyed:
deleting Documents/Ve??lo/
deleting Documents/Ckr/marche??s_publics/
deleting Documents/Ckr/Pre??sentations/Linux_logiciels_libres(SICTIAM).sxi
deleting Documents/Ckr/Pre??sentations/Linux_logiciels_libres(SICTIAM).ppt
deleting Documents/Ckr/Pre??sentations/
deleting Documents/Ckr/Pre??sentation de Norsys 2003.pdf

It seems that mini Mac have not the same encoding type.
Also, I have a couple of complaints about mkstemp:
rsync: mkstemp
"/Users/rsnapshot/Save/Ckrjmax/Web/azurseisme/.Cons?gudes.jpg.F7yHbl"
failed: Invalid argument (22)

I have upgraded to the very last version of rsync but the issues remain.
What can I do ?

Is rsync re-adding the files in the same run? I posted a couple of weeks 
back on this happening with some files with special characters.

Note that the question marks are just rsync trying to avoid corrupting
the screen.  (The version in CVS should be smarter about not obscuring
legitimate characters because it calls setlocale().)

Rsync doesn't doesn't do any translation of character in filenames, so
if your file system tweaks the names that rsync gives it, it won't match
for the next transfer.

You'll need to investigate why that name can't be created by the
destination filesystem.  If it contains a character that is not
supported by the filesystem, there is nothing that rsync can do
(without adding name-conversion rules).
