Maybe this is a filesystem which should explicitly told about the
charset?
When you execute "mount" you should be able to identify the line re-
levant for that mountpoint.

When I mount the vfat filesystem of my walkman mp3player which contains
filenames with non-ascii-characters, I use this:
  mount -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/walkman
