I assume you are running 3.0.0. If not, then that's your problem: prior to
3.x charsets are not supported properly. In 3.0.0 BackupPC's CGI interface
should emit pages only using utf8 encoding.
The correct setting for $Conf{ClientCharset} depends on the XferMethod.
(Note: this config parameter only exists in >= 3.0.0.)
Rsync doesn't change the character encoding, so you need to set
$Conf{ClientCharset} to the local client charset (eg: cp1252 for windows).
Smbclient, on the other hand, by default does map the charset to utf8
(although the "unix charset" in smb.conf can change that), so there
is no need to set $Conf{ClientCharset} (or you should set it to utf8).
