I'm running Mandrake 7.0 (will switch to Debian when potato goes
final) so kernel was obviously compiled different and YMMV, but at the
end of this mail is the NTFS section from my manpage. I've no NTFS
partitions at the moment (here at home) so I can't test anything.
In work (Mandrake 6.1), this is my NTFS entry (which works fine):
/dev/hda1 /mnt/winnt ntfs user,exec,ro 0 0
You could also perhaps use the -s argument (sloppy mount). i.e. Ignore
unrecognised options rather than failing.

Mount options for ntfs
iocharset=name
Character set to use when returning file names.
Unlike VFAT, NTFS suppresses names that contain
unconvertible characters.
utf8 Use UTF-8 for converting file names.
uni_xlate=[0|1|2]
For 0 (or `no' or `false') or 1 (or `yes' or
`true'): use the VFAT-style encoding for file names
outside the current character set. A value of 2
will disable the encoding with ":".
posix=[0|1]
If enabled (posix=1), the file system distinguishes
between upper and lower case. The 8.3 alias names
pressed.
uid=value, gid=value and umask=value
Set the file permission on the filesystem. By
default, the files are owned by root and not read
are presented as hard links instead of being sup
pressed.
uid=value, gid=value and umask=value
Set the file permission on the filesystem. By
able by somebody else.
default, the files are owned by root and not read
able by somebody else.
