No CIFS servers use UTF-8. If your server cannot do the standard
UTF-16LE, then the proper jcifs.encoding should be Cp850 but some JVMs
do not support that in which case ASCII should suffice.

Regardless, I still do not know what the problem is. I would need more
information like an error message, stack trace, log, etc.
