Hello,

Thank you for the annotated screen shots. It sure makes understanding the=20
problem a lot easier :-)

Well, it is a good sign that the error message is printing correctly in=20
Chinese.  My best guess at this point is that pico or your editing program=
=20
has not correctly entered the Chinese characters, otherwise they should pri=
nt=20
correctly.

One thing that you can do is to start wx-console and then enter the followi=
ng=20
command:

   show filesets

This will display the contents of your FileSet as they are internally store=
d. =20
If the Chinese character print correctly, then we have a problem elsewhere=
=20
(we need to add more UTF-8 to Unicode translations). If they print=20
incorrectly, then they are most likely (not 100% sure) not stored correctly=
=20
in the bacula-dir.conf file, and you should try some other editors such as =
vi=20
or emacs to see if you can correct it.
