Ugh!
NTFS. No wonder you are having such issues. Any way to move stuff off
there and reformat to a more appropriate FS (like ext4, MurderFS or the
like)?
One thing I have found when dealing with NTFS, I would rather do so
inside a file image that gets synced from a physical drive. This way, even
the partition info is retained. I also do that with my Mac here when
operating time machine backups. I created a file that was then formatted
with OSX extended FS, setup a few perms and let fly. This way, one of my
external drives can handle backups from multiple Macs without running into
machine confusion as to which backup belongs to what.

This is what I ran:
bmike1@MikesBeast:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test
[sudo] password for bmike1:
Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.
The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which
could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.
<then I realized it was automounted>
bmike1@MikesBeast:~$ sudo umount /dev/sdc1
bmike1@MikesBeast:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test
bmike1@MikesBeast:~$ find /mnt/test -type f -exec cp "{}" /dev/null \;
Is this correct?

Do:
mount /dev/<my-dieing-hardrive> /some/where
find /some/where/ -type f -exec cp "{}" /dev/null \;
dmesg|grep '/dev/<my-dieing-hardrive>'
You'll find a bunch of errors to validate your hunch or you'll fine none
to
rule it out.

I want to have you around so I can harass you at will! ;-)
You are a good man Mike, and you have my appreciation and utmost
respect.
