[Orgmode] Error with Mobileorg and Dropbox

[Neil Hepburn]

Greetings
I have recently tried switching my mobileorg stuff from my .mac (mobile
me or whatever they are branding themselves as now) account to Dropbox.
When I push from my desktop (Ubuntu 10.1) to my MobileOrg file in my
Dropbox, I am sort of able to sync my iPhone. The agenda works fine but
the other included agenda files throw an error saying

Bad file encoding
Unable to detect the encoding, please re-save this file using UTF-8

I am using MobileOrg 1.5.1, orgmode version 7.3, and Emacs 23.1.1

I tried to sync from my MacBook Pro running Aquamacs (with Emacs
23.2.50.1). When I sync from the MacBook Pro (still using Dropbox) even
the agenda file is bad and can't be read by mobileorg.

I've looked on the mobileorg website and I see that this was apparently
a problem prior to orgmobile 1.3. 

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Cheers,
Neil
