ok, I've had no luck getting this to work, probably because I don't know 
what I'm doing.

Here's the /etc/fstab I've set up:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda /mnt/lacie ntfs defaults 1 2

Here's what I get in /var/log/messages:

root at valinor:/home/solemneyed # tail /var/log/messages
May 29 21:05:27 localhost kernel: scsi1403 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass 
Storage devices
May 29 21:05:27 localhost usb.agent[12246]: usb-storage: already loaded
May 29 21:05:32 localhost kernel: Vendor: LaCie Model: Big Disk G467 Rev:

May 29 21:05:32 localhost kernel: SCSI device sda: 980469503 512-byte hdwr 
sectors (502000 MB)
May 29 21:05:32 localhost kernel: SCSI device sda: 980469503 512-byte hdwr

May 29 21:05:32 localhost kernel: /dev/scsi/host1403/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
May 29 21:05:32 localhost kernel: Attached scsi disk sda at scsi1403,

May 29 21:05:32 localhost scsi.agent[12294]: sd_mod: loaded sucessfully
May 29 21:05:32 localhost kernel: usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 22

So then I do this:
root at valinor:/home/solemneyed # mount -t ntfs /dev/sda /mnt/lacie
mount: /dev/sda is not a valid block device

Anyone who can point me in the right direction will receive my most sincere, 
atheistic blessing.

Thx,

scott
