Just a check: you did remember to mount the filesystem as vfat rather
than msdos, right? Also, try msdos anyhow. You might not see the
pretty names, but at least you'll be able to access the files. Also,
run dosfsck (or scandisk) on your partition; the problem might be
unrelated to names. And lastly, try to see if you have the Microsoft
filesystem Hebrew codepage compiled into your kernel (or as a module).
