As far as the unicode table goes, the log is showing:

2001-12-03 16:06:23 Msg 4004, Level 16, State 1, Server SCC-NT-IVR, Line 1
ntext data cannot be sent to clients using DB-Library (such as ISQL) or 
ODBC version 3.7 or earlier.

Which basically means that TDS version 4.2 does not support unicode 
fields.  I need to look into why the error is not propagating up to the 
ODBC driver.  Unicode support in general in freetds is a little spotty, 
look at the 'client charset' settings in freetds.conf (see:
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/unicode.html )

As far as non-unicode goes, I'm not seeing anything strange in the log, 
can you post either the ddl for your table or the output of sp_help on it?
