This error message is telling you that the libiconv library, which is 
used by MapServer for encoding conversions, does not support UTF-16LE on 
that server.

You need to find out which libiconv your Mapserver was compiled with and 
then make sure that copy of libiconv has support for the UTF-16LE 
encoding. You can list the encodings supported by libiconv on a given 
system using "iconv -l"... make sure UTF-16LE is there.

Look for a difference between the two servers related to libiconv.
