Yes,

	I think that is exactly what the problem is. I didn't want 'rw', all I wanted 
was read-only. So I just created a directory as a mount point and 
did 'mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb2 /mountpoint'. It worked just fine. I'll play 
around to find a way to get this (politely put 'dad-gum') hal/dbus/PolicyKit 
to do what a simple 'mount -t ntfs' had done for years....
