Warning for file system encoding should be no issue. It just means
that when you save page names with unicode characters in them they
will be encoded as utf-8 in the file name. Reason is that often
default locale is set to ascii, while filesystem is perfectly capable
of handling utf-8.

Notebook upgrade is triggered based on the properties in the
"notebook.zim" file in the notebook folder. It should say
"version=0.4" to flag we did this upgrade before. Apparently somehow
this file is not updated correctly in your case.
