Steve,

Not being an expert in this area, I apologize for possibly wasting your
time, but I was hoping to seed your exploration with the information I
was given as a starting point.

It "seems" as though the file.encoding system property is related to the
file system you are using (HFS, z/FS).  

It very well could be that there is an esoteric property related to the
actual mount point you are using... heck I don't know.

Here is a small java program I wrote to see what my file.encoding system
property was:

import java.io.*;                                
public class Jtest                               
{                                                
  public static void main(String args[])         
  {                                              
    System.out.println("file.encoding is "       
         + System.getProperty("file.encoding")); 
  }                                              
}                                                

In my case, the result was: 
file.encoding is Cp1047

Cp1047 is EBCDIC Latin-1 (If I'm not mistaken).

I'm curious if yours says the same thing.  It may not be a Java setting
that is causing your problem but a file system attribute somewhere.

Just trying to help,
Kevin
