From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If nobody has a better idea, you could create a loop device with a HFS filesystem, copy the CD to that filesystem, replace all bad filenames, then copy everything to a normal filesystem.
Edit: apparently there's a --iconv option in rsync: https://askubuntu.com/a/540960
that looks like something I tried earlier that partially worked. It seems like for that method I need the iocharset declared at mount time and then to use rsync with the correct iconv flags
--iconv shows option not supported
