We are using the local device scheme in LTSP 4.1.1, with Gideon's latest hotplug script. This setup works nicely with USB storage sticks. However, we have experienced a problem that crops up only when using files and directories containing characters that are in the international character sets. The systems we use are almost universially ISO-8859-1, though some are UTF-8.

It is not possible to write files or directories containing these characters. Error message sample:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/drives/DiskOnKey_1$ touch �.txt
touch: cannot touch ��.txt�: No such file or directory

Files and directories that have been produced when the stick is not connected to a thin client are not shown at all in listings.

The environment is Debian Sarge running KDE 3.3 and Konqueror as file manager. Using a shell does not change the behaviour, as seen above. Touching a file outside the mountpoint with the USB stick does not produce any errors.

Any thoughts and suggestions for a fix is appreciated.
