If I read it correctly, at boot the machine will load 
UbuntuGrub. The way you have it set up you need to boot FC the 
same way you'd boot windows, by chainloading to FCGrub. This 
basically means that grub won't load a kernel as normal, but 
will instead go to FCs partition and load the grub it finds 
there. In Ubuntu's /boot/grub/menu.lst, you need this stanza:

title	Fedora Core 4
root	(hd1,6)
chainloader +1

To fix the ntfs mount, you probably need to add entries to each 
Linux system's /etc/fstab. What is the issue that you are 
having? Saying "doesn't mount properly" doesn't tell us very 
much
