Admittedly, I never used fuse, and things have changed a lot of in GNOME
since this README was written.  But in addition to changing the GConf
keys, make sure you copied the mount script to /sbin, replacing the
system mount_ntfs.

Your gnome-mount command is wrong, too.  The HAL UDI is
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_9C1AB32A1AB2FFF6, and you'll
need to be in a DBus-enabled session to use it.
