First of all thank you for your detailed information Dave.
I have tried all you said, the above example you provided me, but i'm 
afraid even with your approach which should have given more error 
specific information the output of the err file remains.


nikos at superhost.gr [~]# cat /tmp/err.out
UnicodeDecodeError('utf-8', b'\xb6\xe3\xed\xf9\xf3\xf4\xef 
\xfc\xed\xef\xec\xe1 \xf3\xf5\xf3\xf4\xde\xec\xe1\xf4\xef\xf2', 0, 1, 
'invalid start byte')
