Ah, my LANG and all other locale variables were still set to 'C', so that caused the problem. When setting my locale to en_US.UTF-8, the file is correctly generated and the database gets populated. Only my Midnight Commander screen looks horrible, but I'll ask about that at an appropriate place. Thanks for solving this issue! Regards, Marcel
