Try mounting the samba resource with utf-8 charset encoding (all in one
line):

***
su -c 'mount -t cifs //server/resource /mnt -o
iocharset=utf8,user=samba_share_user,password=samb a_share_password'
***

*Be carefull* with the above command as it will mount the specified samba
share under /mnt, so *before issue the command* just check there is no data
there.
