This is the 'unix charset' problem. You have two options: Convert the filenames on the server to UTF8 or Set the unix charset to what your clients were using as their DOS charset (for example, CP850). If you can manage it, then converting the filenames is a much better option - as UTF8 can represent all possible unicode values that can occour in CIFS. Bad things happen when we cannot convert names :-( But changing the 'unix charset' is easier.
