Some NTFS folders not being read [Solved]

I have two NTFS drives/partitions being mounted at startup.  These contain my music and movies, etc (as I am migrating from Windows).  The problem is, I noticed some folders aren't read.  Well, I've noticed only one, and that is a folder called 'Herbert Groenemyer' (note: it uses the umlaut instead of 'oe' but I don't know how to type this character).

I figured it would be something with the locale maybe, but I already generated the de_DE ones, and it didn't solve anything, so a little help would be nice.

If you use the ntfs-3g driver module, you can try to add the locale= option in the /etc/fstab file.
For example :
/dev/hda1  /windows    ntfs-3g    silent,locale=de_DE 0 0
write the exact name of the locale from 'locale -a'

Thanks, I'll try this.  Am I able to add several locales?

Edit:  Worked like a charm.  Thanks!
