Thanks! I now have a VERY long entry in my fstab with a to of options. I'll
re-boot later today to see if it works correctly.

Replacing mount_ntfs with a link to ntfs-3g is what I did on version 9 for
NTFS, but 10 dropped ntfs, so I was unsure of how to do it. I missed the
README.FreeBSD file. Oops! Now to look to see if exFAT has similar
information!
