After some more playing around I have found that if I mount the XP share
with the mount command things start displaying right, where as viewing
through nautilus and the desktop "Computer"->network don't use the
proper codepage for displaying Windows files.
Would this be an adequate fstab line?
//Clo/trans2 /traid/Clo_trans2 smbfs rw,exec,users,_netdev 0 0
