Hi
Yeah. locale. A real pain if your language is not English. Even worse if 
you need a combination.
To force the mount, I think these days we need:
locale=
Just one other thing that comes to mind from many moons ago when we had 
a wg was with the Spanish keyboard on windows, e.g. pressing the Ñ 
without the shift lock was not the same as Alt0241 even though both 
appeared on screen as ñ, only the latter was sent to the printer 
correctly. We still have a dog-eared piece of paper on the notices board:
á	ALT0225
é	ALT0233
í	ALT0237
ó	ALT0243
ú	ALT0250
ñ	ALT0241
ü	ALT0252
But don't trust that. I'm sure it's changed several times since then. 
Oh, and you couldn't have ñ in a filename or login name over samba as I 
remember too.
HTH and do forgive the nostalgia,
