Cannot acces files with umlauts on NFS share

I cannot acces files with umlauts on NFS share.

No app is attached, so doubleclick on a mp3-file will open an error message that no app is known to open this file - ridiculous.

Mounting with /etc/nfs.conf - nfs.client.mount.options = nfc will reestate the normal behaviour, doubleclick now works.

But everything containing umlauts, or accents will be listed double now.

So bad luck for my german, french or turkish files.

How can I turn off this double listing?

OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

File names with ethnic characters are working best, if the file systems is MacOS Extended (Journaled). Would it be feasible for you to create a read/write disk image, formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) on your NFS Share drive and store your media files on this disk image? The only drawback would be, that you would have to mount this disk image every time before working with it.
