Edit:
Are there any Windows Vista or Win7 machines that access this Timecapsule device?
1. No newer firmware: I've already looked for that...
2. No, I use it only with my laptop (which is a dual boot with winXP, with whom the Timecapsule works just fine except for unicode...)

I believe that fix is only related to Vista and Win7, but I don't currently have any Windows machines on my network for testing and it's about the only idea I have left for you at this point.
Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
Here's my new fstab line:
Code:
//mss-014588/church /media/Church cifs user=david,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,nounix,nobrl,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

As I said before, this is not an error. This is a notification. Try running this command in the terminal:
Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
Thank you for these very thoughful instructions. Unfortunately, I have found this general area of Ubuntu so annoying and fiddly that it has repeatedly made me give up on the whole thing and return to Windows, with its comparatively elegant 'map network drive' drop-down menu.
Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
Code:
david@david-desktop:~$ sudo mount -a
[sudo] password for david:
Password:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
david@david-desktop:~$
And still I get:
Code:
mount: only root can mount //mss-014588/church on /media/Church

Have you seen: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1186877 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149 both of which work more like your Windows shares do
This howto is geared to Linux style mounts. I wrote it this way so that it can work across the multiple environments that Ubuntu supports (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu etc). I did not write it because it was the only way you could mount shares in Linux. It does have some advantages and disadvantages. Some people feel that one of the disadvantages is that it requires some CLI use.

That looks fine. Are there any firewalls on the Windows machine? If so, try disabling them for testing.
