The server's most likely storing the accented characters as something
other than chr(192), chr(193), etc., so CF can't match them correctly.

I encountered a similar problem with one of our Spanish language
sites. It turned out that the accented characters were being totally
stripped out or encoded wrongly during file transfer to the (SLES 9.1)
server (using Dreamweaver's SFTP feature).

We ran into several other odd issues with this type of character,
depending on how we set the doctype and character encoding, and
eventually just used &...; encoding. Our solution probably isn't what
you need, but this may give you an idea where to look.
