The server is returning unicode filenames but smbfs isn't expecting them.

You don't say which samba version your smbmount is from, but I'm guessing
2.2.1/2.2.2. They always negotiate unicode support without knowing if
smbfs supports it or not, which is a bug.

With smbfs unicode support in 2.5 this started to matter for various
reasons. I have thought about "autodetection" and maybe that will be
necessary anyway.

For now, upgrading samba to 2.2.3a should fix this. Let me know if it
doesn't.
