I run WINE on Suse9.0 and it runs fine (I dont know wether Suse9.0 has utf-8 
as default). As far as I know there are at least two wrong configurations 
which cause a 
"Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows" is not accessible"

First, your fake-windows drive ("c:") is not  set up correctly or the 
permissions on the fake-win directory are wrong. (By the way in newer WINE 
versions there are symlinks in .wine/dosdevices not in the drive sections in 
the wine config file)

Second, the path two the windows system directory in wine config is wrong.

I never experienced any other problems accessing a fake-win directory. If you 
post your drives section/dosdevices directory listing and the permissions on 
your win drive, maybe I can help you.

cu,

Stefan
