Non-ascii characters being consumed incorrectly by Apache-camel sftp consumer

Question

I am using a simple camel sftp route such as this:

.(sftp:account@host/some-directory?password=somePassword&charset=utf-8&delay=10000&preMove=.processing&move=.done)

It polls the sftp server grabbing files and persisting the data to a database. The files on the server are encoded in utf-8, here is a sample name with a special character:

María

This character is consumed by the route and saved as:

Mar??????a

Any idea as to why these characters are being consumed incorrectly?

To answer my own question, there was an issue with the BeanIODataFormat marshaling the data. The default encoding for the BeanIODataFormat was set to ascii. To solve the issue I had to set the BeanIODataFormat encoding to utf-8 manually.
