what are the source and database character sets?
871 seems to be some of the UTF charsets, but which one is 46?
note that changing NLS_LANG may not solve your problems - you can avoid
unnecessary conversions by properly setting NLS_LANG but if u have
incompatible character set on the two servers, it won't help you
