I'm thinking this is a problem with HAL, since its the one that creates 
/ passes those flags. We already have a wrapper script designed to do 
the actual call to ntfs-3g from HAL -> /sbin/mount_ntfs

Take a look there, you can probably set it up to ignore the -C flag 
within that script easily. HAL ships with this script now, so if you 
patch it, we'll need to include it in the port also.

I'm guessing the problem with CD mounting will be something similar 
though. I'm cc'ing Marcus on this problem, so he's aware of whats going 
on. Maybe we should fix this on the HAL side of things?
