Check out 'dmesg' output after the mount; If I guess correctly, you'll see an 
error relating to either Codepage or NLS. If I did guess correctly, your 
kernel does not have support (NLS) for the relevant codepage on the given FS 
sitting on the USB stick. (if the USB stick visited a non-american Windows  
machine, this is a really common problem, actually...)
