Yes, we have some problems in this area - because of our use of DOS
codepages in Samba < 3.0, this kind of thing happens.  I'm told that if
you don't specify any codepage settings at all, then it shouldn't munge
the path, but I'm not sure.  

I would try again with Samba 3.0 (currently in alpha), with the default
settings.  In that case we *should* be correctly translating
unicode-on-the-wire to utf8 on the disk, and avoid some of these
problems.  (Existing files may still be 'broken', but new files will be
created in utf8).
