I am having this same issue with Intrepid. Just to be clear--the locale setting in /etc/fstab does not appear to work unless I manually umount and mount the filesystem after boot. No parameters are necessary other than the mount point.

This bit from the NTFS-3G site seems promising (http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#locale):

        * The OS configures the setting in a too late stage during the boot process, only after the NTFS volume was already mounted.

    The most common explanation is the latter one. This is why unmounting then mounting such volumes after boot often makes all filenames visible.
