The file name is not a legal file name for this type
of file system.

If I run strace on touch 'nødbrannpumpe.doc
I see the open() system call fail.
open("nødbrannpumpe.doc", O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
A bit of digging may still be required but it looks as if the two
bytes used for the multi byte character "ø" are not in the legal
character set:
(space) ! # $ % & ' ( ) + , - . 0-9 ; = @ A-Z [ ] ^ _ ` a-z { } ~
