Basically your setting is good enough,
locale setting on the OS does not concern.

In original Samba 2.x.x, some Japanese characters are not correctly
handled.
If only some characters (User defined character or Vendor defined
characters)are broken, you probably met this problem.

And of course if you look at these Japanese files on Linux box, the
filenames look like broken strings.

if you could, 

  - at first change "coding system = HEX"
  - ask Japanese people to write some KANJI characters correctly
    displayed
  - ask to write some KANJI charaters not correctly displayed
  - run ls to show these filenames and send the result.


  If Japanese admin exists, please subscribe samba-jp mailing-list 
  from http://www.samba.gr.jp/ml/#samba-jp, and ask the question.
