I meant only ntfs out of all the other entries in your fstab. If PATH
isn't exported then the question became: why are any of the mounts or
fscks succeeding?

Presumably all the fuse filesystems are mounted in the same way

  mount -t foo -->  mount_foo --> mount_fusefs

as opposed to 

  mount -t foo -->  mount_foo

for native filesystems.  

Since it turns out that only the mount_foo --> mount_fusefs call needs
a PATH variable, all fuse filesystems will fail if PATH isn't exported,
but no native filesystem will be affected.
