That's don't work for me.

I tried to restore the example file:

vz/private/100/home/hondamot/public_html/graficos/titulos/Motoguada?a_honda_Modelo_UMK-435_concepcion_del_uruguay_honda_motolitoral_agente_oficial_honda.gif


Motoguada?a use the "ñ"  spanish letter, it's should be Motoguadaña

I'm using LANG=en_US.UTF-8 for backup and restore (in the same server)

The restore process didn't restore anything with this error message:

tarsnap -vvv -x -f nodo10-full-backup-daily-2011-05-25 vz/private/100/home/hondamot/public_html/graficos/titulos/Motoguada?a_honda_Modelo_UMK-435_concepcion_del_uruguay_honda_motolitoral_agente_oficial_honda.gif

tarsnap: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

Please tell me if I can help to debug this issue.
