Cool. I tried using the ntfs-fuse gnome-vfs module a few weeks back
with hal-0.5.7 and thought it was broken.

I'm not sure what the safest options to pass are, but it seems that
the charset settings need to be allowed for ntfs in general. For the
ntfs driver, this appears to be nls= or the deprecated iocharset=.

For ntfs-fuse, the setting is locale=.

For both, fmask and dmask would be nice. I don't know about the write
permissions.
