Jin,
	Have you tried the options noted in the manpage yet?

      -o options
              Use the specified mount options, as described in  
mount(8).  The
              following MSDOS file system-specific options are  
available:

              large   Support file systems larger than 128 gigabytes  
at the
                      expense of 32 bytes of kernel memory for each  
file on
                      disk.  This memory will not be reclaimed until  
the file
                      system has been unmounted.

              longnames
                      Force Windows 95 long filenames to be visible.

              shortnames
                      Force only the old MS-DOS 8.3 style filenames to  
be visi-
                      ble.

              nowin95
                      Completely ignore Windows 95 extended file  
information.


	In particular `nowin95' and `shortnames'? I don't think it will solve  
the problem, but at least some experimentation along these lines would  
be a worthwhile pursuit...
Cheers,
-Garrett
