Interesting.  I had some files on Win98SE with foreign characters that
never even showed up in listings through SMB on the Linux box.  I ended
up just renaming them.  But if they're UTF-16, there shouldn't be any
need for translation options.  Linux should know they're all UTF-16, and
your local system ought to be identified by itself.
