What version of Windows are you using? What file system is used? A similar thing was reported a few weeks ago and it seems to be a problem with some filesystems like FAT32. They don't store many Asian characters correctly so if you try and open the file, Windows can't find the file with that name. One workaround is to look at the files on a DOS prompt to see what the 8.3 format name is and use that to open the file manually.

A better way is just to switch away from file systems like FAT32 as they can't handle Unicode characters in filenames well. NTFS should work fine.
