[linux-cifs-client] trouble accessing files named with accented characters

["Cristóvão B. B. Dalla Costa"]

I've just recompiled the kernel with the more recent 
cifs-1.20c-2.4.tar.gz and the problem persists. Clues/workarounds 
anyone? I'm not familiar with kernel programming but if someone could 
give me some pointers I might tackle this myself.

Thanks.
