This depends heavily on whether you're using Samba 2 or Samba 3.
Samba 2 doesn't support UTF-8, so nothing will work the way it is
supposed to. In Samba 3, everything will work as you would expect
if you leave aout everyhting character-set related in smb.conf.

The default for Samba 3 is to convert Linux UTF-8 encoded filenames
to UTF-16 Windows filenames.
