I've had good luck just adding the mount to /etc/fstab, and then it 
shows up in dolphin all the time.

/dev/da0s1                           /media/ntfs                    ntfs 
           rw,noauto

% mkdir /media/ntfs
% chmod 777 /media/ntfs
% chown <user> /media/ntfs

That may take care of it :)
