Problems with Unicode filenames

[GoogleCodeExporter]

DiskPacker does not work with files with unicode names.

I'm trying to backup my photos. DiskPacker throwing an error and stops when
 it encounters a filename/folder with unicode characters. I experience this
problem in my windows xp machine, with Tamil and Korean filenames. 

Here's the output:

D:\diskpacker-read-only\lib>ruby main.rb
main.rb:32:in `size': No such file or directory -
f:/photos/august_2007/????006.

DiskPacker is written with unicode in mind. So it is surprising that it didn't 
work
for you.

I don't have this issue in Ubuntu linux. Particularly I have the following 
version of
Ruby (ruby --version):

  ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i486-linux]

If you don't have the latest version of ruby, I request you to try updating and 
try
again.
