I'm having a problem with amanda backing up files across a samba

If I use tar natively across the mounted share, it converts these
characters into their unicode equivalents, but when amdump runs, it
reports " (Called name not present) NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND"
Is this a limitation of amanda, or is there something I can change in
the configuration that will allow this to work?
This is what I wrote some time ago:

...etc...
The above msgs have to do with the codepage setting of your
samba. I still haven't figured out the exact details, but
tweeking the smb.conf file helps.
I had to add:
character set = ISO8859-1
to the global section.
This solved that problem for win2000 and WinNT4 systems, but
it introduced the problem to Win9x. That was a long time
ago; and we have no Win9x anymore in your disklist.

Samba 3 is out now, and has a complete rewritten support for unicode
characters in filenames etc. Maybe thre is decent solution following
that path. I did not yet have the time to try it out.
