In Jaunty, as a result of a recent update, mount'ing ntfs partitions with or without the 'user' flag is no longer possible:

badp:~$ mount /dev/sda1
Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated
FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged
badp:~$ cat /etc/fstab
