Interestingly though, this doesn't seem to work in my case. I have compiled in 
support for msdosfs, ntfs, libiconv, libmchain, msdosfs_iconv & ntfs_iconv. I 
have also set vfs.usermount=1, put myself in the wheel & operator groups and 
made group rw the device files and mountpoints. 

I still get an "Operation not permitted error" when I try to access the ntfs 
partition for instance. What else could be affecting things?
