I have:

UNICODE db, 08.02.0004 which is unicode driver

I modify tables (a little bit):

I remove this until end of definition becouse you don't specify the
boards table.

I'm unable to reproduce the error :-( Are you sure you use 08.02.0002 or
later psqlodbc driver? There is no ANSI x UNICODE version of the driver.

Could you try this VBS? Or could you specify one or two rows which
leads to error? Maybe length of text data could help ...
