Umlauts are not valid characters in GEMDOS file names. See 
http://mikro.naprvyraz.sk/docs/GEM/GEMDOS.TXT for example for a 
list of valid characters. So if you have files with umlauts in
their names on your host filesystem, you should rather rename
them there first before using these directories with Hatari.
