It's a while since I had to mount an ntfs, so I hope this isn't wasting 
your time... But are you using an incomplete description of the 
partition you want to mount? I'd have expected it to be more like:

#mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1e /mnt

To check this, you can go to /stand/sysinstall-->configure-->Label and 
choose ad0. Just be sure not to alter anything. The full label will be 
shown. When you're through looking, type "q".

PWR.
