Ok, for anybody else that may get this error, I found a solution. I don't remember reading in any of the docs that you need to keep the language files in a directory named tessdata. But I noticed that all of the different data files I was downloading from all over the place had the files in a directory named tessdata, so I tried putting that file in the directory where I was doing my tests, and sure enough it now works. The misleading thing is that the error message in the logs includes a path to the eng.unicharset file that does NOT include the tessdata directory.
