Hm, strange that e2fsck (current version?) does not report any errors, 
because I somehow find it hard to believe that it should be related to the 
umlauts in the filename. Did you try moving the files via its inode#? 
Something like:

# ls -li
1234 ?--------- ? ?      ?            ?                ? Teddyb?r.docx
# find . -inum 1234 -exec mv '{}' Teddybaer.docx \;

...does that work?

Christian.
