It looks to me like the problem is that you're on a mac, and [some?] mac
filesystems silently convert accented characters in filenames to
"composed form", which is different than the pre-composed characters
people tend to use.
Perhaps the new "ucs-normalize" code (which should be added soon I
think) would help:
> The attached is an Unicode normalization tool contributed by
> Kawabata-san. It performs all the Unicode normalization
> NFC/NFD/NFKD/NFKC, and provides a coding system utf-8-hfs
> that is suitable to be used for Mac OS 8.1's file names.
[Search for "normalize.el" on recent emacs-devel messages]
