I'm working on this issue at the moment by adding
proper code page -> UNICODE support into Samba.

I currently have code in the SAMBA_2_0 branch that
I'm testing but I'd appreciate a little more help
next week (I could send tarballs to people if they
don't have anon CVS access) once I've done a little 
more work on the code (it hasn't at least broken
anything with a US codepage - yet :-).
