Maybe you have to play with the iocharset mount option
(both for cifs and ntfs).

If your machine is UTF8, you have to find a combination of
options for which the file names are always shown correctly.

You have to do little steps:

- mount /ntfs
- touch /ntfs/test_à.txt
- ls -l /ntfs

ok? if not,

- mount /ntfs -o iocharset=iso8859-1
- touch /ntfs/test_è.txt
- ls -l /ntfs

and so on... you get the idea.

Best regards.
