bash does not accept "set ouput-meta"

Hello !
I'm having trouble with German umlauts. They work fine with
vim, cat, mutt and so on, but don't work in less and bash itself.
Thus I get:
$ cat
äöü
but
$ \344\366\374
and less doesn't display them at all, although I set LESSCHARSET=iso8859
as advised. But I'm not that concerned over less anyway.
My ~/.inputrc looks like this:
---
set completion-ignore-case On
set show-all-if-ambiguous On
set meta-flag On
set output-meta On
set convert-meta Off
---
BUT:
$ bind -v
set blink-matching-paren on
set byte-oriented on
set completion-ignore-case on
set convert-meta off
set disable-completion off
set enable-keypad off
set expand-tilde off
set history-preserve-point off
set horizontal-scroll-mode off
set input-meta on
set mark-directories on
set mark-modified-lines off
set mark-symlinked-directories off
set match-hidden-files on
set meta-flag on
set output-meta off <<< !!!
set page-completions on
set prefer-visible-bell on
set print-completions-horizontally off
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
set visible-stats off
set bell-style audible
set comment-begin #
set completion-query-items 100
set editing-mode emacs
set keymap emacs
It seems that bash just doesn't accept the ON-value for output-meta.
(I made sure the .inputrc-file is really read.)
Any ideas ?
Thank you for your help
