Hi Charlie,

Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
. It's written for mounting NTFS partitions automatically, but
contains a fair bit of relevant information for manual mounting too.

In short, for read-write support, you need to do "mount -t ntfs-3g"
instead of "mount -t ntfs".
