rsync - May 2012 - Getting messages "failed to stat" only in cron execution

Hello, *

When I am running a backup bash file under cron, I get lots of messages like 
the following:

rsync: recv_generator: failed to stat 
"/mnt/tmp/backup/museum/documenten/secretariaat/vrijwilligers/medewerkersboek
en poster/losse foto's medewerkers/oude foto's medewerkers die we willen
bewaren/wienk, ari\#303\#253l .jpg": Invalid or incomplete multibyte or
wide
character (84)

If I rerun the same file from my command shell, I get none of these.

I suspect that one of my variables makes the difference, but has anyone an 
idea, where to look? There are so many of them...

No, but a couple of things that I would look at (that you probably already
did) : 1) Since rsync handles embedded blanks in paths, it probably also
works for embedded single quotes, but I'd verify that. 2) Are \#303\#253
valid characters (especially on the host that's generating the error
message - if you're running your rsync across hosts, maybe your local host
understands something the remote one doesn't)?  I don't remember where I
saw it, but I think rsync has an option for recoding things on the fly
from one character set to another if that's the problem.

That looks like an OS error.  Are you using a file system that rejects
invalid character sequences (OS X systems usually have this)?  Check your
environment variables for differences relating to character sets and
rsync's iconv option (such as RSYNC_ICONV).
