This is because ntfs-3g is ignoring locales when mounting the ntfs drive, at least when called from kde. I used to solve this in feisty by having a entry in fstab specifying "locale=pt_PT.utf8" among other options for the ntfs partitions/usb drives, but now on hardy if I have a fstab entry I can only mount the drive as root.
