It seems this is because rsync is seeing /backup/löl as > /backup/lvl, which is the non-extended ascii version of this path (ö is > 246 in ascii extended, 246-128=118, which is v). > > I have tried putting + /backup/lvl in the include file, without success.
You mention UTF-8... That's different from iso8859-1, which is what you're using when you say that ö is 246 in "ascii extended". If the filesystem stores names as UTF-8, then you need to use UTF-8 in anything that refers to filenames.... rsync doesn't care about special chars in filenames (or in the contents of files), it does a simple byte-for-byte match. In UTF-8 ö will be stored as two bytes...
