pre-commit hook in svn: could not be translated from the native locale to UTF-8

Question

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with my pre-commit hook.

This hook test if a file is locked when the user commits. When a bad condition happens, it should output that the another user is locking this file or if nobody is locking, it should show "you are not locking this file message (file´s name)". The error happens when the file´s name has some latin character like "ç" and tortoise show me this in the output.

Commit failed (details follow): Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 1) with output: [Erro output could not be translated from the native locale to UTF-8.]

Do you know how can I solve this?

Thanks,

Alexandre

My shell script is here:

#!/bin/sh
REPOS="$1"
TXN="$2"
export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
/app/svn/hooks/ensure-has-need-lock.pl "$REPOS" "$TXN"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1; fi
exit 0

And my perl is here:

!/usr/bin/env perl

I don't think it is TortoiseSVN problem. I got the same error using Eclipse Plugins.
