I believe this is smbfs related.
smbclient shows (correctly):
  åäö-sql.txt                         A     759  Tue Apr  6 16:25:44 1999
/bin/ls on the same share mounted as smbfs shows:
???-sql.txt

But on a different filesystem (ext2):
cola:~>touch åäö
cola:~>/bin/ls åäö 
åäö  

This is with 2.2.6/2.0.3. I haven't looked at all at options to smbfs
(or smbmount) it is possible that there is something there that can help.
