	Actually jCIFS has a problem with Unicode pathnames at the moment. We (actually I)
	did something dumb that causes the pathnames to be URL encoded. You have to URL
	encode and decode each path component. I'm actually gearing up to fix this in the next
	week or so. I know Japanese doesn't work though because someone else was
	complaining about it recently.

	Perhaps you need to use DataInputStream.readUTF? You need to determine what the
	output encoding is exactly and read it accordingly. But jCIFS is definately a better
	solution (once I fix the URL encoding BS).
