MalformedInputExceptions are often a result of an encoding issue.
The name of the file or the directory in ClearCase VOB contains a byte sequence not legal for the given character set.

Windows:
Switch the system locale to the one that can read the file name or the directory name, then reboot

Linux:
You can set the proper encoding by setting the LANG env variable to the proper  value. See the steps below.

Stop the sync engine if it is running ( you can find the process by something like 'ps -ef | grep buildengine' )
Close RTC eclipse client
Set LANG environment variable in your terminal, export it. ( 'setenv LANG en_US.ISO-8859-1' or 'export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1' etc.)
Start RTC eclipse client from the terminal
Verify the LANG env. variable is set as expected, by 'cat /proc/<RTC eclipse client process>/environ' and find LANG var.
Go to ClearCase Sync. view, select your sync. stream and start sync. engine
Again, verify  the LANG env. variable is set as expected for the sync engine process
Run sync
