I am running a Swiki in headless mode using:

/usr/local/bin/squeak -vm-sound-null -vm-display-null -mmap 300M squeak.image

But there may be some issues with your language settings that are causing 
problems with iconv.

Please look at the Squeak man page for guidance on this.

Have you tried unsetting or changing the iconv-related environment variables 
(LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, etc.)?

There are a number of Squeak settings having to do with character conversion. 
It is possible that a default character set that is being used by Squeak is 
not set up on your system. You may need to either change the choice of 
character sets in Squeak or install a conversion on your system for iconv.

The defaults are (I think):

  -encoding <enc>       set the internal character encoding (default: 
MACINTOSH)
  -pathenc <enc>        set encoding for pathnames (default: UTF-8)
  -textenc <enc>        set encoding for external text (default: UTF-8)

Since you're probably set up for Czech, it's possible that some of your locale 
settings are causing problems.

What do you get when you run 'locale'?

How about 

locale -m | egrep 'MACINTOSH|UTF-8|ISO-8859-15'
