This looks as if your system does not use UTF-8 ...

Can you create a file with accented characters? If not, can you put a  
copy of the file in the Grégory directory into your home or some  
other directory and invoke emacs, with or with no unibytes, with both  
files? In the first case the accented name would appear in the mode- 
line of the buffer (and would see what was passed or received as  
argument), in the latter case GNU Emacs would put the directory's  
name in the mode-line, I hope, to distinguish the two files with the  
same name. Again, you would see what was passed or received as  
"Grégory" ...

If the file names are or are not UTF-8, you can declare this  
in .emacs with:

        (setq default-file-name-coding-system 'utf-8)
        (setq default-file-name-coding-system 'iso-8859-15)

There are a lot more *coding-systems you can set ...
