    What makes you think that the Chinese file name is messed up? Your "problem" may be as simple as different fonts on the two machines.

    The problem here is simple; Windows uses a different method to display Chinese characters (code pages) than Mac OS X does (Unicode); therefore, the characters aren't displaying correctly. Sadly, there's no easy fix for these kind of transcoding problems.
