emacs cannot read accent properly in a path

[PG <pgiraudo@univ-fcomte.fr>]

I am newby in the matter. I want to share a FAT32 hard disk using both
Windows XP and GNU Linux Ubuntu 6.10. The ubuntu terminal (utf-8) work OK
and MS DOS paths (even with blanks in the name and accents) are well read.
Eg:

/users/Documents and Settings/giraudoux/Mes documents/Thèse
Robardet/Analyses 0611$ 

However when I wanted to read the same path from e-macs (eg to import a file
C-x C-f), I get this:

/users/Documents and Settings/giraudoux/Mes documents/ThA"se
Robardet/Analyses 0611$ 

(actually a sign ~ is above the A), and of course, files cannot be read.

I have tried to manage to get emacs reading such a path including accents
correctly with those commands into .emacs

(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-language-environment 'utf-8)

This works well when using auto-completion in the minibuffer from the home
(eg ~/ emacs and then C-x C-f and using autocompletion along the path)

However, when I launch e-macs from within the final directory

/users/Documents and Settings/giraudoux/Mes documents/Thèse
Robardet/Analyses 0611$ emacs

The minibuffer does not manage again with accent...

Thanks in advance for any hint

Patrick
