I've changed xffm so that any new files generated are in the default
codeset (not necessarily utf8). Smb configuration for japanese is
different here, maybe because of samba version:

[global]
    display charset = EUC-JP
    unix charset = EUC-JP

UTF8 also works, but combinations of utf8/euc-jp does not work in smb
navigation (one or the other), although combinations do work in local
navigation.
