[Samba] directory does not exist?

[Holger Brückner]

any special characters in the directory names, like ä,ö,ü ?!?

i had this effect with german umlauts:
filneames where cut of at the position where the umlaut is placed. so
this would result in windows trying to access filenames which are not
there.
