I'm new to Kubuntu so i dont know if there is some other way to handle it
here.
And i'm not on my Kubuntu machine at the moment so i can't verify it.
Someone will probably correct me if im wrong.

In this day it's handle automagically by UDEV and HAL so u dont need to have
an
entry in fstab and where to change the default options for HAL i have no
idea.

The problem with adding it to fstab would be that the card would not
be the same diskdevice all the times you reboot or insert other cards etc.
You can write a custom udev rule so just this card always would be symlinked
to
one name of your choice. Look at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter07/symlinks.html
for a example of howto do it.

But first try to do the mounting manually from a consol to verify that it is
the moint
options that is your problem and set iocharset and codepage to values
whatever you use
in your country.

Hope it will help so you get on right track at least.
