Xbian really does need a network connection - especially for the time.

By not having a system clock files will be written with a 1970 date which will confuse sort programs or thers which rely on timestamps.

I have a feeling this "issue" is caused by ntp failing which triggers Xbmc to stop - or something like this.
Can you go into xbian-config and set the service ntp to stop and not restart. Reboot and see if that improves things.

Alao can you post the output from dmesg.

OK I think I can replicate the error.

I can create a file called "hello" which contains "Proprietà" and it shows up correctly, however
if I try to change that filename to Proprietà all I get is Propriet [with spaces instead of à]

Looking at the locales, Italian is setup for XBMC but not Xbian.

You could try generating the correct locale with

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

selecting it_IT.UTF-8, choose as default and then reboot

It might work but I have a feeling it might not as I'm sure most European characters are included in the defaut locale.
