Thanks a lot, works great:

$ echo '試しましょう' | mecab -d /usr/lib64/mecab/dic/unidic
試し    タメシ  タメス  試す    動詞-一般       五段-サ行       連用形-一般
ましょう        マショー        マス    ます    助動詞  助動詞-マス     意志推量形
EOS

Seems also like mecab is actively beeing worked on.
In case someone has issues locating the dictionary as I
had first, its this one:
http://sourceforge.jp/projects/unidic/ .

cheers,
