You might want to set TDSDUMPCONFIG and TDSDUMP in your environment  
and review the resulting logs to see what client character set you're  
actually getting.  You might also try applying the patch from:

<https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/freetds/2010q2/026008.html>

which I think should do a better job than the existing code at  
allowing freetds.conf to override the character set, though no  
guarantees it will work in your situation (however, it would be nice  
to have the confirmation if it does).

I hope to get that patch checked in soonish, which could be a day or a  
week or ...
