No, it was MARC8 in and MARC8 out. The problem was that Translate Into MARC8 was set in the Preferences. It wasn't marked in MarcTools, and I didn't notice that Translate Into MARC8 was greyed out in MarcTools. The grey is perhaps a bit too dark, and hard to distinguish from black.
Here's a suggestion. If Translate Into ... is set in Preferences, put a checkmark on it in MarcTools (in addition to greying it out). That way, it is obvious what is set and what is not when you execute.
