I just managed to get a captive ntfs drive mounted in Knoppix 3.6. Here are some tips:
Make sure you have a "captive" user who is a member of the "captive" group. Otherwise the mount command will hang. I wasn't able to do this through adduser and addgroup, but running kuser as root worked.
Only the Windows XP drivers work right (i.e., not 2000 or NT).
I did everything using the command line utilities captive-install-acquire and mount. The GUI doesn't give you as much feedback about what's happening.
If you don't do one of the steps above, mounting might fail. If it does, you need to use a newly created directory as a mount point before things will work.
