Thanks Matthew,

I was using one with Joliet support, but it turns out that on Windows,
one needs to set the default locale differently.

In my case, I wanted to write Czech filenames to disk, so I had to
change the default locale to Czech (and set the locale used to my
regular locale).

When that's done, you can write the files to disk. If not, you might
have used a character from yet another locale (happened to me, that's
what made it so hard ;-).

Thanks for all the help to all you guys!
