I suppose it might be using some default codepages to translate your
username and password. I don't really know much about what libsmb does 
with the strings we send it ...

You could try setting up a charset/codepage pair in your smb.conf, like 
this:

    character set = ISO8859-1
    client code page = 850

Using whatever values are appropriate for you (man smb.conf).
But that should not matter if you are only using english characters.

Another option would be to search the samba source for the error messages
and remove them ...
