    Yes. (-:

    These just means that you have mounted with a bad default code page or
    whatever you want to call it and the ntfs volume contains characters
    whethe the Unicode (i.e. NTFS) to your code page conversion fails (NLS
    conversion returns error due to non-existant character in your code page).
    As the message suggests if you adjust your mount options to include the
    "nls=utf8" option the errors will go away and everything will work except
    maybe your terminal/gui may dislay some garbage characters if it does not
    understand utf8 characters but at least you will see all
    files/directories.

    Correct. That is just Gnome and in particular gconf stuff (i.e. the Gnome
    daemon providing access to the Gnome version of the Windows registry)...
