The issue here (as I said in my own reply) is that smbfs does not handle
exotic characters well, because windows servers don't handle this well,
when in ASCII mode.  You can make it better by setting the right
smbmount options.

This has nothing to do with the 'unix charset' options for smbd, as it
refers to the smbfs kernel module's capabilities.
