Hello Robert!

There was a problem report (PR#8294) from july this year
not appearing in the list.
It describes a similar problem accessing files with german umlauts.
This bug has been fixed with 1.9.18p10.
See a mail transcript below which contains both a detailed description
and a patch, working fine.

While rereading these old mails I had a look to your smb.conf and missed
some settings for foreign languages.
See the entries for "character set" and "valid chars" (and maybe some cross
references) in the smb.conf(5) man page.

Good luck,

Detlef
