Go to the TSM Support Page and search on

   "contains unrecognized symbols for current locale"

for the more common message on this problem, which yields more search
results.  Particularly see Technote 1158642 for a locales library
issue, which *might* affect Debian, or Debian may have an issue
similar to SUSE.  I would also verify that the dsmc process is
actually picking up the right locale information.  You might also try
a test backup with LANG=C and see if any improvement.

I've already searched through the  TSM Support Page on the locale issue
back and forth. The technotes are mostly rather misleading, as setting
LANG=en_US or de_DE or  even C
does not suffice. The codepage for filenames is actually set by
the environment variable LC_CTYPE.
The customer who reported the problem followed my recommendations
for the settings and is even using my startup-script for the scheduler,
which contains the settings
export LANG=en_US
export LC_CTYPE=en_US
just before "dsmc schedule" is called.
But on his 64-Bit Debian Linux, the settings don't seem to work.

Regards
Hermann
