Set the unix charset to the charset your clients are using. E.g. unix
charset = CP850 and also make sure you dos charset is set correctly.
However, you should rather try to convert the filenames to the correct
charset.

Read the Unicode chapter in the Samba HOWTO Collection for details about
these options. This chapter also contains a link to a utility that can
convert your filenames to the correct unix charset.
