mmm... but, is the filesystem ntfs or vfat? If fstab refers to vfat and
the filesystem is ntfs, this is the reason because the filesystem is not
mounted.
As Dave says, ntfs filesystem is read-only because write-support is
experimental. In order to read the filesystem you can change "vfat" to
"auto". If you need read-write access you must recompile your kernel,
too.
