Thanks Paul, I now have to modify my question a bit:
1) I have the same codepage settings than you 2) No reboot, no additional software installation - but now a "touch ???" works and produces a file as expected. To clarify, I'm logged in by a ssh session from a linux box. 3) Still I have the problem, that rsync is not able to write filenames (sychronizing from a Windows box) with spezial characters. As I know, this shoouldn't be a rsync problem - on a Linux box instead the solaris one it worked in the past...
