$ rm -i E*.avi
rm: remove regular file `Eddie_Izzard-Dressed_To_Kill.avi'? n
rm: remove regular file `Enemy_Of_The_State.avi'? n
rm: cannot lstat `Evil Dead 3 - Army of Darkness (Director\264s

As stated previously, tried with the gentoo graphical file browser and 
did not work.  Tried exporting as suggested by number 3, and the file 
still does not show up in the browser.

$ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
$ rm -i E*.avi
rm: remove regular file `Eddie_Izzard-Dressed_To_Kill.avi'? n
rm: remove regular file `Enemy_Of_The_State.avi'? n
rm: cannot lstat `Evil Dead 3 - Army of Darkness (Director\264s 
Cut).avi': No such file or directory
