You probably mean you have a problem with the "raw" (cp862) filenames.
The 8859-8 filename doesn't exist at all.

I guess the problem is because many programs assume the chars
in 128 - (128+31) to be control chars (like those in 0 - 31).

In any case, I wrote a trivial patch for samba (based on code that
already exists in it for other languages) that translates the filenames
to 8859-8.
I sent it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] a year ago and got no reply.
You can get it at
<http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~didi/samba-hebrew-patch>.

I guess it is not very interesting for them, because they want to move
to unicode.
