Where do I set it? On the client?

Hmmm, I have

client codepage = 932
codingsystem = SJIS

and Samba *definitely* creates SJIS filenames (when creating a file from
a Japanese Win95 client). "echo *" on a kterm in SJIS mode shows the
correct filenames.

Are you saying the options above cause Samba to translate between Unicode
(network) and SJIS (local filesystem)? I can't believe this....
