Are you *sure* the music directory name Schräg is encoded with UTF-8?**
Maybe try renaming the Schräg directory to something else and back to
Schräg  again? 

Or try creating a symbolic link, Schraeg -> Schräg, and point LMS at
that?

**I recently stumbled on 'this rant about Python filename support'
(https://changelog.complete.org/archives/9938-the-python-unicode-mess),
which I confess I haven’t read entirely, but which taught me something
new and possibly relevant: *filenames in POSIX are defined as arrays of
bytes. So the directory name "Schräg" could be encoded several ways*:
five bytes in ISO-8859-1, six in UTF-8, ten in UTF-16, etc. Perhaps your
Schräg folder is so old that it was named by ‘mkdir’ or whatever you
used to first create it in five bytes that LMS’ Perl build reject as
invalid UTF-8, or perhaps LMS skips entirely because maybe when it comes
to that initial opendir() call LMS effectively insists the directory
name be encoded differently than your Schräg is, likely only accepting
top level music directories whose names are encoded as utf8 bytes? It
seems very plausible to me that the opendir() call might be super picky
about getting the right bytes even as Perl or LMS might be clever enough
to intelligently interpret different character encodings as it processes
the bytes it finds with readdir().
