well, that doesn't help you much, but I'm relieved, then ;-).

Yes, probably that's the way to go. In case you have any use for that, we have 
an "icon.recursive()" in the SPSS-import plugin (recurses into lists, 
converting encoding of all list elements).

Then, what if you redirect the output of that to a file, and use readLines() 
(potentially with encoding="UTF-8") on that? At least this should bypass any 
oddities of shell(), in case that is the cause of the problem.
