I had the same problem when I first tried GNUstep under MinGW some time 
ago.
It turned out then that I had not installed iconv (which was declared 
as optional IIRC).
Under MinGW, iconv is necessary to read/write the defaults database, 
because it provides the needed UTF-8 encoding.

Hope that helps,

Andreas
