Are you running Ubuntu or Kbuntu? I ask that since you mention Konqueror and Ubuntu is Gnome based and usually uses Nautilus. FWIW, I installed Ubuntu 7.1 and allowed the system to automount the usb disk I created on RHELv4 and it displays the Hebrew just fine. The "interesting" thing is that the mods loaded are nls_iso8859_1 and nls_cp437. So, details on what OS you are running....and could you let the system automount just for a test?
