I queries on the configuration of automount(8) for ntfs file systems and
received two identical responses that, I believe, will resolve you issue. I was
pretty close:
- Install fusefs-ntfs
- Enable autofs:
  # sysrc autofs_enable=YES
  # sysrc autounmountd_flags="-t 10" # unmount after 10s of inactivity
- Make sure to add this to /etc/auto_master:
  /media                -media          -nosuid
- Then you need this little patch for /etc/autofs/special_master:

        done

        # No matching device - don't print anything, autofs will handle it.

- Start auto$foo:
  # service automountd start
  # service automounter start
  # service automountd start

- Insert the NTFS device
- Look for a new directory in /media
- Access it

Credit to Lars Engels and Edward Tomasz Napierała. (The latter wrote the
automounter.)

Note that you may want somewhat different options, but I think this should get
you on the right track.

If this fixes the issue, please close the ticket.
