This issue became apparent when I attempted to run the build tools from an ant task. I believe the java VM defaults to ascii encoding and so I was get a Fatal encoding error. Wycats helped me out in irc, and i discovered "Encoding.default_external" was ASCII while running from ant but UTF-8 when running from the command line.
As I quick fix to the problem, I have added "Encoding.default_external="utf-8" to the top of my sproutcore.rb to ensure it is always used.
