 From my experience, this sounds like a filename "codepage" issue. I have 
been relatively successful in mapping both netatalk and samba filenames to 
ISO8859-1. This creates file names that can be reasonably dealt with in all 
NetBSD, MacOS and NT/W9x, although some chars unique to the MacOS cannot be 
used.

#Global parameters

         character set = ISO8859-1
         client code page = 437


[Foo]

         create mask = 0770
         directory mask = 0770
         veto files = /.AppleDouble/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash 
Folder/DesktopFolderDB/resource.frk/
         mangled names = No
