Funny thing is, this happens even when you copy / move from one NTFS partition to another. Using Kubuntu 9.04. The # line below is the old setting. I installed a fresh version of Kubuntu, and selected to mount /media/docs during installation in the partitioning section. The line below solves the problem for me, but changes permissions and group ownership to 777 and root respectively (which isn't a problem for me). But i agree: whether the error message makes sense or not, it shouldn't pop up a hundred times.
