IllegalSequence

[ktwbc]

Trying to troubleshoot the sync bombing out. Somewhere in backing up my iTunes folder, it's aborting with the following dump:

Not sure where to look as this is already the debug output... it looks like it's having a problem on the root iTunes folder? But it's already synced folders underneath... Can I assume that IllegalSequence is relating to a filename, probably a song file??

iconv is the thing which converts between character encodings.  It is telling you that it found a character sequence that shouldn't exist.  Either your choice for system encoding is set wrong, or there's some really bogus filename it's hiccuping on.

Yes. Most definately. It looks as if you are trying to sync something like "Björk"... :-)

Have you set
export S3SYNC_NATIVE_CHARSET=UTF-8
somewhere in your script (or yml or wherever)?

On which platform are you working on? Are you feeding s3sync the files it should sync by some other program?
