I think this is a known problem. CIFS doesn't yet support
non-unicode/non-ascii charsets on the fileserver. I have a vague idea
of what it will take to get this working (we need to add a codepage=
option similar to what smbfs has). I think Gunter Kukkukk was also
looking at this and has done some cleanup patches that will make it
easier to implement this, but again the actual work hasn't yet been
done.
