Hi gang. I am running cwRsync on Windows XP systems and synching to a FreeBSD server. One user uses unicode because he needs Chinese characters. During a synchronization I get many "file has vanished" messages; the filename contains question marks. Is there any way to deal with this?

One potentially useful older message: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2005-May/012638.html The root of the problem is that Windows is lying to rsync about what the filenames are, and no one has offered some advice on how to make the lying stop (universally). ..wayne..
