Comment (by QuLogic):

 Dupe of #1649.

 But since you're here, maybe you can find something special about these
 apparently invalid directories?
  * What sort of "national characters"?
  * What charset/encoding used for the FAT32 partition? Perhaps it's
 different from Kubuntu's default.
  * What locale is set in Kubuntu?
