Hi Dotan,
For your reference, for all of my FAT formatted USB storages I can see all the filenames with Chinese characters by mounting in the following way:
mount -t vfat /dev/xxx xxx -o shortname=mixed,iocharset=utf8,codepage=950
950 (big5) is the default multibyte encoding I have set in my Windows XP box.
Hope this will help.
Rgrds,Ivan.
