Hey Paul, I had the exact same problem and submitted a bug report this weekend (http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=868).
To work around it, simply make sure that your default encoding is UTF-8 rather than macroman. You can achieve that by passing -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to your VM. I guess you could also programaticaly set the file.encoding System property, but you need to make sure this is done before the MetadataService is started.
