Netbeans can't read utf8 file names in mac

I have a project on my eclipse, one of its methods are reading list of files from a folder. when I run it from eclipse or from an exported jar, its fine and works great.

But I have another project on my netbeans for the GUI of this app where I include the exported jar (which works fine) but when I run or export this project from netbeans, it just can't read non-english filenames, it's converting the filenames to something like this

???????? ???? ??? .mp3

I tried to add -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to the netbeans.conf and I also tried to select the encoding in the netbeans project properties but no luck.

here is some code:

public SFile(String path, FileFilter filter) {
    File f = null;
    f = new File(path);
    directory = f.isDirectory();
    if (directory) {
        children = new ArrayList<SFile>();
        File[] ki = f.listFiles(filter); // here i see the ???? ????.mp3
        ArrayList<File> kids = new ArrayList<File>();
        Collections.addAll(kids, ki);
        Collections.sort(kids, comparator);
        for (File k : kids) {
            if (k.isDirectory() && k.listFiles(filter).length == 0) {
                continue;
            }
            children.add(new SFile(k.getAbsolutePath(), filter));
        }
    } else {
        // some more code...
    }
}

the filter code:

new FileFilter() { 
     public boolean accept(final File pathname) { 
     try {
         return pathname.getCanonicalPath().endsWith(".mp3") || pathname.isDirectory();
     } catch (final IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace(); 
     } 
     return false; 
     }
};

If you are on java 7 listFiles is reported broken on mac OS X - see here and links there. If updating does not fix it you should consider moving to nio - or see here.
I'd ike to see the filter you pass in listFiles(filter);
