API XML Parsing Error

I'm facing problems with special characters (e.g. German umlauts ?,?,?) when trying to import data using API importFromCSV():
com.intuit.quickbase.util.QuickBaseException: XML Parsing Error. not well-formed (invalid token) at line 9 column 80 (which is byte 972)

    Why don't you isolate the problem by shortening the XML body to the smallest content that yields the same error and post that minimal XML through a pastie service (eg pastebin.com)?

    We are calling the importFromCSV() method in Java and just pass a comma separated list of values.

    So if one of the value contains such an Special character the API call fails.

    It seems the error occurs in QuickBase class in method xmlFromString(qdbResp).
