On the other hand, in XLISP, I created an OS X file with "test" in it, I 
used Finder to change the file name and the Character Viewer to insert 
some non-ascii characters. Then, I ran Nyquist from the command line and 
did this:

>  (listdir ".")

("." ".." ".DS_Store" "fa\314\214oxa\314\207c")

>  (setf ii (open "fa\314\214\oxa\314\207c"))

#<File-Stream: #8a65c4>

TEST

>  (close ii)

NIL


So in other words, I can open and read from a file with a non-ascii 
name. I can also create files with non-ascii names in the same way (just 
open with :direction :output).

Now I'm not sure what is the real problem. Maybe it's OS-dependent? Can 
you try something similar to the above and send a simple case that fails 
that I could look at?
