The fault then is using FileSystem object.

Use:-

oXML.save server.MapPath("../IPSVrelationships.xml")

ditch the createFile function altogether.

By accessing the .XML property of the DOM you retrieve a unicode (UTF-16)
representaion of its contents then using FileSystemObject you were creating
a representation in the file use whatever the current user codepage is set
to.
