Comment (by robe):

 I don't think its the vcc build libiconv at fault.

 I think I had replaced my local postgresql bin with the mingw, but I just
 tried with the one that gets packaged with PgAdminIII which is the way I
 normally use it and it works fine with that one.  Besides I would expect
 we would have similar issues with the command line if that were the case.

 Are you sure your source directory isn't dirty with some old files.

 For perspective I pulled out an old copy of a shp2pgsql-gui and it gives
 this error
 with your file.

 {{{
 Failed in pgui_exec(): ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8":
 0xb3
 }}}

 I presume that is the error you are getting?  I thought maybe it was the
 encoding of the database that would make a difference -- but works fine
 for me against UTF8 encoded as well as win1252 encoded database.
