So it looks like converting to Unicode with MARCEdit, then importing - not using my catmandu.yml (apparently that was the differenc in my two working dirs.) - but remembering to specify --bag, not --database_name, is going to do it.  I'm waiting for my big file to convert to UTF-8 now.  Time to try querying my first 10 records now.

Curious. It goes on to a different error (the convert to JSON actually works) when my working directory is c:\Users\charper, but not if my working directory is c:\Perl.  But my import to CouchDB of the ebook bibs worked in the c:\Perl directory.

Care to share the mrc file to see if I'd get the same results?

Also I would think a space between the < and c:\ would be needed.
