Folders with strange characters not recognised on NTFS drive

[Matek]

I had Leopard installed and got Snow Leopard. I wanted to do a clean install and I did a manual backup to an external NTFS drive (I had NTFS-3G with MacFuse installed). Among other stuff, I backed up some music in folders that included some specific characters from my language.

I installed Snow Leopard and now all of a sudden these folders don't work. They're displayed as unknown files (although their names are normal with all the unusual characters intact), cannot be opened or renamed. The drive is perfectly fine, I tried using it on a Linux and Windows machine and both recognised it and played the problematic files without a glitch, so it must be OS X.

Any ideas?

After some googling, I came up with this on NTFS-3G site:

Files with filenames created in Windows containing international characters with accents, umlauts and similar dots and lines, or filenames with korean characters might seem unreadable in the Finder. This is because Finder apparently expects all filenames to appear in unicode decomposed form, while NTFS allows both composed and decomposed form filenames. This issue is hard to solve in a pretty way, but you should still be able to access these files when using the Terminal. For me, copying the affected files to a HFS+ drive using the command "cp" worked fine.

While this isn't exactly my case (I didn't create my files in Windows), it seems to be very similar. Problem is, the suggested solution (copying in terminal) doesn't help.
