Hi,

I don't think you can get what you want: samba IMHO doesn't have 2
filename representations (as - maybe you think of - joliot and rockridge
on CDs), there's always one fs with one native name. So if your fs
allows strange names under windows you can't change this in the linux
view. Charset translations are possible but no more. You better find a
way to dial with the "special" names.

I had the problem myself - had to burn DVD from samba share with
"strange" win filenames, at least it was the best way to use same
charset (iso8859-15) on both sides and to build heavy violated iso
images (what's no problem today if the only readers are newer linux and
windows systems and joliot and rockridge are built with all their
possibilities).

To prevent evel it's often enough to use " and ' in scripts.
