[dundee] Garbled SMB filenames

[Nistur]

Woo, smbclient output:
[nistur at minas-morgul ~]$ smbclient -N //storage/music
Domain=[⏽€] OS=[] Server=[￿]
smb: \>

and I'm having issues getting verbose output from mount.smbfs and cifs 
tells me little more, I have a few password protected directories on the 
NAS so I thought I'd try one where it wasn't connecting as guest. Same 
problem.
I also found out that directories that really don't exist get mount 
error 5 = Input/output error whereas ones that should exist get mount 
error 20 = Not a directory

As for changing settings on the NAS, there's very little I can do there. 
There are very very VERY few options. I guess that serves me right for 
getting a cheap NAS.
I've also tried ssh/telnet but the NAS doesn't respond

Thanks all
