Comment 10 for bug 557160

I have added the test case but nothing new happens.
Due to the directories that I try to synchronize the error shows up and blocks sync'ing.
When I get the exception - now: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe6' in position 11: ordinal not in range(128) sync'ing runs to a halt.
I have tried to stop sync'ing of the offending directories by right clicking and chosing stop sync - this text is then greyed out, and apparently nothing else happens.
syncdaemon-exceptions log says
2010-05-20 00:03:47,051 - ubuntuone.SyncDaemon.DBus - ERROR - Unable to handle VM_VOLUME_DELETE_ERROR for volume_id=dbus.String(u'pending')
Since my last post I have been almost continually connected, but nothing happens - u1sdtool --status reports 'processing queues' ad infinutum.

The strange thing is, that æ.ø and å don't seem to have any influence in some instances. In my Documents directory directories with these characters do show up, and in some of them also files whose names contain these characters, but at some point, seemingly in directories within directories the problem arises.

As of now I am only able to proceed with sync'ing after starting anew: unsubscribing and removing folders and sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/ubuntuone && rm -rf ~/.cache/ubuntuone which is rather tedious
