I cannot type (!) in the relevant characters (ä,ö,ü etc.) and tab completion seems to relate to the working directory of the shell as opposed to the one used by bbackupquery. Needless to say that the backups are worthless in the present state.

You can do something like

$ bbackupquery "cd /my/umlaut/path"

and then continue work in that directory.

Not very elegant, no.
