Are you using the version from the sysutils/ntfsprogs port? That is
patched to deal with the fact that FreeBSD doesn't have block devices
anymore and to align read/write operations to the media block size,
which is required on FreeBSD.=20

Also if you want to mount the drive, use the fusefs-ntfs driver. It's
more recent.

If the port doesn't work, try using a windoze box.
