Ah, dohhh!

My apologies, I ran locale and that test command as ROOT and then I've been running the ebook-convert as a user. Running locale as the user gives "POSIX"! I've switched the user to utf-8 and it worked!

(chaley, it looks like the filename part didn't matter.. when I renamed it to just ascii "duh.lit" it still wouldn't convert when I had the wrong locale, and when I keep it with a funny character in the filename it still works as long as I have the right locale!)

Thanks again!!
