Did you consider using iconv or recode? Maybe on a trial and error basis, but I think they complain if an unsuitable from-charset is given.

btardump
BTARDUMP(1) General Commands Manual BTARDUMP(1)
NAME
btardump - Command line parser for Barry backup files
SYNOPSIS
btardump [-d db][-h][-i charset][-V] filename [filenames...]
DESCRIPTION
btardump takes one or more Barry backup tar files on the command line, and dumps parsed database records to stdout. By default, all
records are dumped, but this can be limited by the -d option.
OPTIONS
-d db Name of database to dump to stdout. Can be used multiple times to parse multiple databases at once. If not specified, all avail-
able databases from the backup file are dumped.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-i charset
Specifies the iconv charset to use for converting international strings. The Blackberry uses the WINDOWS-1252 charset, which is
incompatible with the more common code pages used in Linux. The most useful charset to use with this option is UTF-8, and is highly
recommended. Any other charset available via 'iconv --list' can be used here too, but may not be successful for some character con-
versions.
-V Enable vformat MIME output where available. Address Book gets printed in vCard format, Calendar in vEvent format, Memos in vJour-
nal, and Tasks in vTodo, etc.
