This seems strange because modern Linux distributions should map UCS-2 (16 bit Unicode characters which cifs servers like Windows and Samba send over the wire) fine to UTF-8 which is the typical default one for local. Does you distro not default to UTF-8 on the client? Would be helpful to see a wire trace (ethereal or tcpdump) and make sure the server is sending UCS-2 (Unicode) on the wire.
