Two things, try without the double quotes in the first argument (unless this
is just a transcription error), and have you checked that there is no invalid
codes in the input, i.e. that the input is truely ASCII or Latin-1? I have
similar errors but every time I've looked, it is because the source has garble
in it. Latin-1 but they claim it is UTF-8 (these are RSS feeds), or no
encoding info at all (perhaps some Windows encoding).
I have not figured out how to get Iconv to recover from errors; if you do,
please post the solution here.
