You can check the locale charset on the NAS by setting the logging level to Verbose and restarting MinimServer. You'll see a log message saying what locale charset MinimServer is using.

The recommended combination is to use UTF-8 for both the locale charset and the charset of your filenames and directory names.

Wed Apr 10 09:18:08 starting MinimServer
Wed Apr 10 09:18:08 Platform default charset is US-ASCII

For some Reason its "US-ASCII". I am not sure whether it always was that way or whether the recent install hick-ups changed something. Anyway, just going thru the NAS settings menu and see where I can change this.

THanks for the hint

UPDATE: Language Settings for my NAS is set to "German (unicode)". I checked the drop down box, there isnt an option for UTF-8. Cant see an other place where this option can be activated.... Also googled a bit on the ReadyNAS forums and if understand correctly, UTF-8 should be supported by default... Certainly 0.63 just ran fine.

UPDATE 2 -- PROBLEM SOLVED !!
I changed the language on the NAS to "English (unicode)" and re-bootet the NAS and restarted Minim. After that it reported the encoding as being "UTF-8" and all albums are now being scanned correctly.

I am still unclear as to the root cause of the issue, but at least its fixed now. Thanks again Simon for pointing me in the right direction.
