Hi temp,
You might try one of Drupal's migration modules instead, e.g. Migrate (http://drupalmodules.com/module/migrate ). Also have a look at "Related Modules" on that site.

You don't say if you selected the option to try and retain term ID. Is that advanced option on?
Term IDs should work if either there is no existing term of the same number, or the number does exist and has the same name.
If there are pre-existing numbers with different terms already there, the numbers will not be re-used, and a new one will be made instead.
If you mean RDF (not RTD?) then support for UTF8 characters should be improved. I don't know enough about that, but would like to see someone test and help fix that.

Frank Ralf - thanks for you advice.
dman - yes this option enabled.
i have empty vocabulary and try import term into it.
first, with xml option - process of import without errors, but tid of new term don't match with tid from xml file
second, with RDF (sorry, i gave mistake in last post) option - and, in case that all of term not contains Cyrillic symbols - all ok (all tid matching) but import process stopped when some of term term contains Cyrillic symbols with error message
"Problem parsing input XML error: 'undefined entity' at line 16
Failed to import any new terms. This may be due to syntax or formattings errors in the import file."

i'm with sorry for unnecessary worry and with good news.
on old site, i have taxonomy_sql 1.2 version, and after upgrade to 1.3 - RDF import-export work correctly with Cyrillic letters
