I confirmed that starting the gunicorn processes directly from the command line corrected the issue. I don't have a gunicorn.sh script but could run the gunicorn_django script after stopping the supervisor service. I attempted to add LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 to my supervisor startup script as you did but for some reason that did not change anything for me. What I ended up doing that worked for me was to add the following line to the supervisor.conf template in Mezzanine's deploy folder:

environment=LANG="en_US.UTF-8",LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8",LC_LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

Then after a "fab deploy" and then manually stopping and starting the supervisor service I was able to browse media files again.

By the way this post was particularly helpful to me:  http://albertoconnor.ca/blog/2012/Jul/21/unicodeencodeerror-when-uploading-files-django-usi

Thanks again Pat.

I had the same problem today.  What a headache! 

Are you using supervisor?  I was able to narrow the problem down to supervisord not getting the locale environment variable correctly.  Running my gunicorn.sh startup script directly from the command line resulted in everything working correctly (so I think it is a general unix environment problem, not a Django/Mezzanine problem), it was only when supervisor was launching my gunicorn workers (via the same gunicorn.sh script) that the locale setting failed to pass through.  I believe I finally fixed it by hacking in a LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 line on my /etc/init.d/supervisor startup script.  I run supervisord as root and gunicorn as a less-privileged user.

The exception description is a little bit misleading.  

If you look at the fabfile.py, https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/blob/master/mezzanine/project_template/fabfile.py#L339-L354, you can see how the system should be configured to handle the demonstrative gallery images included in Mezzanine.

hth,
