encoding problems - automounting usb pen drive (vfat)

Just plugged in my sisters mp3-player to transfer some files to it, and i noticed that special characters (æ,ø and å to be specific) does not display correctly.

I am sure locale is set correctly in rc.conf  - LOCALE="nb_NO.utf8"

Any ideas as to what causes this? The wiki only has a similar solution for ntfs-3g, and i would guess that has nothing to do with VFAT. tongue

Are you using thunar?  XFCE exo famously ignores hal mount options when it mounts volumes.  There are vaious patched versions of exo in AUR, and one of them should let you mount things with correct settings.

Alternatively you can try using pmount-hal to mount the drive.

Sorry for not providing much info. Has previously used both lxde and kdemod, but are currently running gnome (with nautilus as file manager).

I will try pmount tomorrow, but i would like to get this working with HAL. Any suggestion? You mentioned HAL options. Where can I check if these are correct?
