A remark in the john-1.7.0.1 announcement suggests you can
overcome this restriction by adjusting params.h
I suggest to upgrade to at least john-1.7.0.1, and
change the definition of CHARSET_MAX in params.h to your needs.
#define CHARSET_MAX 'Ü' should work.
Make, however, sure you read the comments before changing the
definition.
Then, rebuild john, and let us know whether it works as expected.

That's totally unrelated to your problem.
