Umlaut in filename makes troubles

I have problems with my repository under slackware vs. windows. I created a repo in linux and every time I use it under msysgit, the files containing umlauts in the filename are marked as deleted (and vice versa).

For instance: the repo perfectly synced under msysgit leads to:

user@sauron:/media/disk-2$ git status |grep Auszug # deleted: "trunk/007_Literatur/Auszug aus Ergonomische Untersuchung des Lenkgef\374hles.docx" # "trunk/007_Literatur/Auszug aus Ergonomische Untersuchung des Lenkgef\303\274hles.docx"

in linux. But the file exists and is displayed correctly in the shell or in dolphin (my filemanager under X):

user@sauron:/media/disk-2$ ls trunk/007_Literatur/Auszug* trunk/007_Literatur/Auszug aus Ergonomische Untersuchung des Lenkgefühles.docx

Can you please give me a hint what to do?
TIA
