Ok, it works properly once the files are fixed.
Your files were in the wrong encoding (jbpatch bitches about this in the log file... Check the log file on the systems tab).

The files should be in UTF-8, not the stone age Windows encoding. The encoding can be selected in every decent text editor.

Anyway... here's the command that fixed it:

Code:

for i in *.txt; do iconv -f WINDOWS-1252 -t UTF-8 -o $i.2 $i; mv $i $i.wrong; mv $i.2 $i; done
