>From mxBase ChangeLog

Changes from 2.0.4 to 2.0.5: 

Fixed a bug in the native Unicode handling code for long object columns.
mxODBC now also supports reading and writing Unicode to and from
longchar and ntext columns for MS SQL Server. 

Are you sure you are using latest version. Perhaps you installed a
former version and than updated
