That can still be set, but in the rc file. If for example ntfs needs a
charset, you can put charset=<auto> for using LC_CTYPE or a fixed
encoding by putting charset=utf8 in the [ntfs] group (or only utf8,
since it's a mount option too). This is more flexible since for
example vfat with an utf8 charset is not recommended.

Could you compare the mount options set by hal between the two exo
versions (should be visible in /media/.hal-mtab). Then I can fix it if
it's an exo bug and release 106.
