The docs say the ADDMFS [or MOUNT] command defaults to treating the files as Binary rather than text. Seems maybe you need to "Specify a CCSID to be assumed for data files on the remote system."?

_i Add Mounted FS (MOUNT) i_
"...
Coded character set ID (CCSID)

Specifies, for Network File Systems, a pair of coded character set identifiers (CCSIDs) to identify a specific character representation to be used. The first CCSID specifies what encoding scheme should be assumed for data files on the remote system. The second CCSID specifies what encoding scheme should be assumed for path names on the remote system.

This parameter is only valid if mounting a Network File System.

Element 1: Data file CCSID

*BINARY
No conversion is used.
*ASCII
The ASCII equivalent of the default job CCSID associated with the current job is used.
*JOBCCSID
The CCSID from the default job CCSID is used.
1-65533
Specify a CCSID to be assumed for data files on the remote system.
