Pspp assumes that the sav file's encoding is the same as the current locale. If that's not true, then you can change the LC_CTYPE environment variable to match the encoding of the file.
For example, the file at http://savannah.gnu.org/file/databas.sav?file_id=1906 is encoded in ISO-8859-1, whereas my system default is UTF-8. When I open it, the non-ascii characters appear as '?'. But if I type "export LC_CTYPE=en_AU.ISO-8859-1" then it displays properly. Hope this helps.
