[Samba] accessing Windows shares with smbount garbles german Umlaute

find any solution on groups.google.com, maybe somebody here can help?

Problem: I create a file on a windows machine called
smörebröd.txt

and mount said drive from a Linux machine via smbmount, there it becomes:
sm?rebr?d.txt

Had this problem with local disks, too, but fixed that by adding
iocharset=iso8859-1 and codepage=850 to the fstab entries, but tho smbmount's
manpage says these can be passed to smbmount, too it doesn't work.

the fstab entry look like this:
//xerxes/mm1 /mnt/xerxes/d smbfs
users,uid=1000,gid=100,rw,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,credentials=/etc/
bloorg 0 0

Local machine is Slackware 8.1 with Samba 2.2.7a, kernel 2.4.19,
/etc/samba/smb.conf has client codepage set to 850.
Remote Machine is WinXP Pro.

Any help appreciated.
