Did you install fuse?

If not, then you won't be able to use ntfs-3g.

No. Synaptic already lists it as installed.

Do you have a symlink like mount.ntfs-3g -> ../usr/bin/ntfs-3g in /sbin?

Still doesn't work but I got a different error message this time.

[root@localhost sbin]# ln -s /usr/bin/ntfs-3g mount.ntfs-3g
[root@localhost sbin]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/win_c
fusermount: failed to open /dev/fuse: No such file or directory
fuse_mount failed.
Unmounting /dev/sda1 ()

You need to load the fuse module. In a console:

sudo modprobe fuse

Not sure how to make it happening automagically though.
