Mounting an NTFS volume in File Mode mounts the partition read-only. Doing the same in RAW mode mounts it write-enabled. Please fix this to make G4L even better!

    The mount command reports that it is mounted in rw mode, but attempts to write fail. In the local option, I added the ntfs-3g to remount the partition, if it sees that it is an ntfs partition. I had not done that in the File Mode option. I have since added that in the test version of 0.27. Also, am looking into mount helper files, and they might allow the regular mount program to correctly mount the partition in rw mode, but have not test yet.

    The ntfs helper programs have been added, so mounting ntfs should always be in rw mode now.
