In recent upgrades (though I switched to the GIT version a while ago), it 
helped to rescan the collection. You could try this. Or perhaps it is an 
enconding issue. There are two ?? in your ll output, and the encoded version 
shows four characters for your å, which should only be two in utf-8. So it is 
encoding the two unicode octets again in iso.
