samba - Nov 2003 - problems in MacOS X, connecting to shares with accents in name

Hi. I need to connect to shares in a WinXP machine, which have 
accentuated characters and spaces in its name. I'm using Samba 3.0.0rc2 
in MacOS 10.3, and when I use the `connect to server' option (for 
instance, to smb://xpmachine/Trabajos en realizaci?n), I get the login 
window, but after introducing my login name and passw. I obtain a -43 
error (operation not complete because some items are missing). In fact, 
it tries to connect substituting the spaces and accents by %20 and 
%C3%B3 codes (I though the code for ? was another one), but obviously it 
doesn't work.

I have no problems with other shares having only ASCII characters in the 
name.

I think everything is well configured, but I'm not a Samba expert. I've 
read that Samba 3 uses unicode and can deal with different codepages at 
once, so I don't know what's happening here.

By the way, I've tried with smbclient in the CLI, but I cannot introduce 
non-ASCII characters there, and substituting with codes doesn't work.

Thank you in advance.

take a look if that patch, which adds support for macosxfs solves your 
problem. It's not in CVS yet ...
