That didn't help since my files are not stored in working dir.

Strange situation.
I changed my PHP-files encoding to UTF-8, but the problem still occurred.
So I suspect it's

THAT helped!
I added a replace:
$path = str_replace("è","\xE8",$path);
and now it IS readable from PHP.
Now I wonder if I should make a whole list of such replaces....
Sounds horrid, doesn't it?
But your idea brought me to the following idea:
$path = utf8_decode($path);
Which works flawlessly (on my set of only 13000 filenames)!
So at least I have it fixed for NTFS.
Thanks for pointing my head in the right direction.
