samba - Jan 2004 - trouble with german special chars on smb shares

Setup: two Slackware9.1 boxen with Samba 3.0.1 (tried 2.2.x as well), where
xerxes: is a file server and
shodan: is the client 

on xerxes there are 3 shared vfats (the errors I am going to describe occur on
ext2/3 in exactly the same way)

When I do:
dexter@xerxes:/mnt/f/smbtest$ touch Umlaute_???

I get:
dexter@xerxes:/mnt/f/smbtest$ ls
Umlaute_???

Just like it should.

BUT: on the client machine:

shodan:/mnt/xerxes/f/smbtest$ ls
Umlaute_:201d:201e:x81*

AND

shodan:/mnt/xerxes/f/smbtest$ rm Umlaute_\:201d\:201e\:x81
rm: Cannot delete ?Umlaute_:201d:201e:x81? : file or directory not found

Now I do it the other way round and create the file from the client.

shodan:/mnt/xerxes/f/smbtest$ touch Umlaute_???
shodan:/mnt/xerxes/f/smbtest$ ls
Umlaute_???

Everything fine on the client, but on the server:

dexter@xerxes:/mnt/f/smbtest$ ls
Umlaute_???

I've been fumbling around with this for bob knows how long and just
can't find
the error.

locales are set like this:
LANG=de_DE@euro on both server and client
Both server and client have defualt remote nls codepage 850

fstab entries on server look like this:
/dev/hda6 /mnt/a6 vfat
rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,users,umask=002,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 1 0

fstab entries on client look like this:
//xerxes/mm3 /mnt/xerxes/f smbfs
credentials=xxxxxxxxxx,uid=1000,gid=100,rw,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=cp850
,users 0 0

global section on server (3.0.1):

unix charset = iso8859-1
dos charset = cp850
client codepage = 850

I'm out of ideas.

Nobody? Absolutely no clue? Need more info?

smbfs between two linux boxes is always doomed to this kind of failure. 
The character conversions are just too messy, and as smbfs is using DOS
codepages, not unicode, it just gets worse.

Either use the CIFS vfs, or just NFS.
