[mb-users] Picard encoding problems

[Bogdan Butnaru]

It's an automounted USB drive with two FAT32 partitions. This is what
mtab lists:

**********
$ cat /etc/mtab
[... snip ...]
/dev/hda2 /mnt/win vfat rw,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0
binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/PRIME vfat
rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8
0 0
/dev/sda2 /media/SECUNDO vfat
rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8
0 0
**********

The files are on /dev/sda1. It's interesting that the windows internal
drive has the "utf8" option but the usb partitions have
"iocharset=utf8". Not sure what's the difference, I'll look into it.
I'm going to try a manual mount to see what happens.

Still, it's strange that the other programs work OK, why would Picard
have an issue with this?
