This looks like the following bug, which I've already reported upstream:
https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/issues/546
In short, Paramiko seems to not like non-UTF8 filenames on the SFTP
server.
Since this is a Paramiko bug, I'll reassign it to that package.

Obnam treats all file data as binary, and doesn't try to interpret it
as UTF8. The contents of the file don't matter here at all.
