This error is caused by an attachement filename. This should not happen but
there is no migration script that migrates attachments. It is planned by
ThomasWaldmann to write one.

In order to repair it, goto the directory ../data/pages/MtcQip/attachments
and rename every file that has non-ascii characters in it.
If you want to preserve the original filename, just upload it with (I
guess) umlauts in the file name again, you will see that the filename will
be stored differently.

Kind regards,
