i somehow (without changing any settings in fstab) managed to mount the drive and this time i could see these folders from console...when i say 'see' i dont mean i could see the proper folder name but some weird glyphs instead... in order to see the proper names i must always do a 'unicode_start' ... then i can see everything properly...
my current LC_ALL system variable, I have set to en_US.utf8 ... so as not to screw up anything (some incompatible programs to el_GR.utf8)...
either way setting LC_ALL to el_GR.utf8 doesn't help as i always have to type in 'unicode_start' from a console window....
also adding unicode_start to my ~/.bashrc screws up my sftp connections, since i usually get this error msg after running unicode_start

that the sftp client can not handle, and i can not redirect its output to /dev/null.. so that it won't screw up the sftp (even though i won;t be seeing the error msg anymore in the console window)
i think i need a serious and thorough look into the whole language thing in linux... locales, languages,utf, unicode etcetc... is there some good reading for it?
