I know I can escape spaces in usernames with so i tried :
mount_smbfs "//Wärner@SERVER/Public" /Volumes/Public
Result: mount_smbfs: server rejected the connection: Authentication

I'm not responsible for how Apple does it, but DAVE and ADmitMac use
UTF-8 to encode strings. So to escape a-umlaut (Unicode 0x00E4) use
the sequence ä.
If that doesn't work, you could give DAVE or ADmitMac a free try at
