NTFS mounts automatically, but not when using ntfs-3g...

[bigtoque]

I'm using 8.1 release and running Gnome 2.32.

I managed to get all my NTFS drives mounting automatically when logging into Gnome, however it is only read-only.

I installed ntfs-3g, and then followed the instructions in /usr/local/share/doc/hal-0.5.14/README.fuse

Mounting Fuse File Systems with HAL
-----------------------------------

$FreeBSD: ports/sysutils/hal/files/README.fuse,v 1.3 2010/05/10 21:18:39 kwm Exp $

Hal supports mounting Fuse device-backed file systems (e.g. NTFS). To enable
this feature, copy the included /usr/local/share/hal/mount-fuse script
to /sbin. Make sure this script is executable. Edit the script, and change
the FUSE_HELPER environment variable to the name of the executable which
will actually mount the Fuse volume (e.g. for NTFS, this is ``ntfs-3g'').

Finally, the script must be renamed to ``mount_FSNAME''. FSNAME is the name
of the file system type (e.g. for NTFS, this is ``ntfs''). If there is
already an executable in /sbin or /usr/sbin with this name, the
existing executable must be renamed or deleted.

As is stated in the examples above, overriding FreeBSD's existing NTFS
support with Fuse's ntfs-3g is the most common use case for this. The
ntfs-3g Fuse driver uses different mount options than FreeBSD's included
mount_ntfs. GNOME transparently supports switching between ntfs and
ntfs-3g. Simply edit the following GConf key in the GNOME
Configuration Editor (i.e. gconf-editor):

/system/storage/default_options/ntfs/fstype_override

Set the value to ``ntfs-3g'', then add your desired ntfs-3g options to the
following GConf key:

/system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g/mount_options

Other desktop systems may have similar options.

The default option in "/system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g/mount_options" is just "locale=", so I left it at that.

When I boot into Gnome, the NTFS drives don't load.

What should I be setting in "/system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g/mount_options"?
