I know this is an old post, but the real answer to the problem in Arch Linux is to edit /etc/locale.gen and uncomment the locale you are using in your /etc/rc.conf
After you have saved locale.gen then, as root, issue "locale-gen" and the locales will be created. Reboot and everything should be peachy and you don't have to use the LANG=POSIX workaround.
