Filenames with non-latin characters aren't found by the filesystem [S]

This might be a bug, but I'm hoping it's just a config file problem.

I have a few files here and there on my NTFS drive that have Japanese characters in their filenames.  Sometime recently (I don't have an exact date when they disappeared), they stopped showing up at all.  If I browse to a folder that used to contain filenames with Japanese characters, it just appears empty in Gnome.  Using ls from a terminal also says the directory is empty.  They used to work just fine, but a recent upgrade must have broken them.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to get my files to appear again?  Is there some way to enable unicode support for filenames or something?

Many thanks!

Edit: Rebooting the system fixed it, though I still think that was a pretty strange problem.  Any ideas what was up?
