To make double-byte sharenames work with Samba 2.0.x
you'll need to turn off NT SMB support, to cause NT
to request the sharenames via the old IPC interface
rather than the new RPC interface.

The problem is that the codepage -> UNICODE translation
isn't correct for any non-ascii language in any of the
current Samba code (any CVS branch), I am working on
fixing this before the next release.

Sorry for the problem,
