Solved.
I had to surround my folderpath field with smart_str according to
http://docs.djangobrasil.org/ref/unicode.html#ref-unicode
The only change needed in the example was on the last line:

Good question. That could affect the app if I were using relative
path's or relying on the environment to locate files. The path's I'm
using in the app are stored are absolute paths. They work correctly
for path's that don't have unicode characters in them. My Django app
works correctly with
Thanks for the response Andy.
The code does work fine in the interpreter. It's when the code is
called from a web page where it throws an error. I know it has

os.path.exists behaves differently if called from a django app. Why?

I'll take your advice and use
Thank you for the advice on this problem. I haven't touched Django
since I finished this project. It's been about 4 months.
Having had some more time to explore the issue, I believe the problem
lies here:
from django.contrib.contenttypes import generic
In my models.py, I'm using generic
I could use some help getting my Django website back up after an
upgrade to Hardy Heron. Instead of using svn to get Django, I used
synaptic this time. Now my site doesn't work and I'm a bit confused
on path names.
