I have the following in my smb.conf: unix charset = ISO8859-15 and Umlauts work correctly either way (Linux <-> XP), but then again I have a relatively new samba version (3.0.20). Samba has several different charset and encoding options; if your storage device does not allow changing arbitrary parameters you're most likely out of luck.
