Remap the locale to something you *can* read? I regularly use mount
options like -L el_GR.ISO8859-7 to browse FAT filesystems frm non-UTF8
sessions.
Can you try mounting with something like this?
# mount -o -L=el_GR.ISO8859-7 /dev/msdosfs/FOO /mnt
BTW, this should probably be in -questions not -hackers.
