dnd of filenames with locale specific characters

I've run into a peculiar problem with a Java swing app as a drag source and files with locale specific characters embedded as part of the absolute path or in the filename. For example if any part of the absolute path or the name of the file contains a character such as ó as in the filename abcódef.txt, the target of the drop such as Finder will not accept the drop. If I remove the ó from the filename, the drop is successful. If I drag the same file from one Finder to another Finder window while the filename contains the ó everything works correctly. 

The DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor is the only data transfer flavor supported in this code and the getTransferData() method confirms the file exists before adding it to the resulting list. At least from a jvm perspective the File instance is valid. 

    public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor) throws UnsupportedFlavorException, IOException {
        List list = new ArrayList();
        for (int i=0; i<fArray.length; i++) {
            if (fArray[i].exists()) {
                list.add(fArray[i]);
            }
        }
        return list;
    }

Dropping the file from the java swing app to different targets also exhibits the same failure. 

Mac OS X version is 10.4.7. Java version is 1.5.0_06. Any suggestions on how to work around this problem? 

Thanks,

Bob Potterveld
