Thanks Stéphane
Some example renames may help. I'm betting the issue is related to handling of certain characters like / ? ! " and accents in Macintosh versus Windows file naming conventions. Or perhaps the Mandrake box and the Macintosh clients have different nationalization settings.
Alternatively, Microsoft do some 'interesting' things when saving files, and I've seen a number of oddly named files left lying around on fileservers (mostly Netatalk though) as a result of Word having problems saving files.
