Non-ascii password characters won't work reliably, in anything but a  
closed system.

Special characters in filenames *should* work, though at least with  
the VFS filesystem driver, there are some hardly to reproduce  
problems. I don't know of any with the SMB driver, though that doesn't  
have to say anything.

Hard to say without any details about *what* fails.

Yes, and additions to the existing Horde_Vfs unit tests too, so that  
we can reproduce the problem.
