subversion fails to import a directory structure with "svn: Can't recode string"

[Bas Bossink <bb...@xs4all.nl>]

Subversion fails to import the directory structure of which the ls -Rl 
is included as an attachment with the message: "svn: Can't recode 
string" after the first part looks to be imported correctly.  Other 
directory structures imported fine. Some systems info
Client: gentoo linux 2004.1 subversion version info included as 
attachment ClientVersion.txt.
Server: OpenBSD 3.5 (ServerVersion.txt)
I'm using svn+ssh to connect to the server.

Any guidance or feedback is highly appreciated.

This means that your system's current locale doesn't know how to
translate a local filename into UTF8.  (The repository requires that all
filenames be in UTF8.)

So, figure out which filename isn't being imported, and set your locale
correctly.
