Your problem was a bit different I think.  Iso-8859-1 does contain german
umlauts etc.

I think the problem here is that rrdtool wants single-byte characters.  The
input may be something else (UTF-8 for instance).

Now, how to solve this is another matter.  For that it is probably best to
ask people with experience.


What I did to test:

 for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
 do
   for j in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
   do
     for k in 2 3
     do
       echo -ne \\$k$j$i > testfile.sh
     done
   done
 done
 vi -b testfile.sh
        (binary edit, create a script for rrdtool)
 sh testfile.sh

Hardly the way one wants to do this I guess.

It will make a difference, but not for the better :)

cheers,
