I have no encoding set in fstab and it is not a mounted windows partition but an ext2 that had some files stored on it from windows/samba2.x and some other files that were moved over from a win system using sftp. I want everything in UTF8 now that Samba3 supports it well. Anyway the problem is solved; convmv converted the encoding and I'm happy.
