Re: Problem with filenames with national characters (WinNT)

Setting the  USEUNICODEFILENAMES option to off in the English client should fix
the problem, but make sure the setting is consistent between backup and restore
or the names may not restore correctly. If the option is set to ON the names
will restore correctly but they will not be displayed correctly by the user
interface (cmd line or GUI). This option (set to ON) is only required when
backing up Macintosh files on an NT server with Services for Machintosh
running. I again want to stress that this option must be used consistently
during backup and restore for all names to be restored correctly. The default
for this option is ON for the English client and OFF for all others.

Hope this helps ....

 Try to set USEUNICODEFILENAMES OFF in the client option file.
 (US English client)

 We had the same problem with Swedish special characters and running
 US English client. When we run the Swedish client there were no
 problem with special characters.
