Is Terminal set into UTF-8 encoding? Is Aquamacs Emacs set into UTF-8 "mood?" What value have LC_CTYPE or LANG in Terminal's shell environment? And finally: the Emacsen before 23.0.60 only "emulate" UTF-8 somehow.
You might try again, adding also a -Q to the invocation, with Terminal in some ISO Latin encoding (ISO 8859-15 for example) and also set LC_CTYPE to this value.
So, can't the autocomplete within Emacs work because it doesn't work under Terminal?This is not really likely. The Emacsen do not use a shell based mechanism to expand a file name. Nevertheless, both failures can be related to the same cause: apple uses in HFS+ decomposed Unicode characters. This means that your file's name starts with ru¨ ... Have you triedC-x C-f r u TABYes, I knew this. This also works for Terminal. But hey: this is the year 2008, Emacs 22.x and Mac OS X 10.5 ... I expect German umlauts to work.
The umlauts are handled somehow in text – but HFS+ is something different. Emacs.app, the Cocoa/GNUSTEP implementation of GNU Emacs 23.0.60,can't handle such file names. Or apple's own tools! Have you tried, just for fun or proof of apple's mis-concept, to attach your file to an eMail and typed ``r ü´´ in the form to find your file at once? In Finder itself it works better ...
