Right, I think I understand why this is broken now. In Intrepid, gnome-
mount is configured by default to mount any partitions with
"volume.fstype=ntfs" with the ntfs-3g driver. In Jaunty this is the
same, but it doesn't work because it appears that the alternative fstype
needs to be specified in "volumes.fstype.alternative" when you are
mounting a filesystem with a driver that is not the same as what is
specified in volumes.fstype. This constraint doesn't appear to exist on
Intrepid

So, this would have broken anyway with or without the ntfs-3g change
from Debian.
