Try to configure your drives with the ntfs-3g tool (Applications->System 
tools->NTFS configuration tools) instead of rc.local... the NTFS tool 
will add the drives to /etc/fstab with both read and write 
permissions... For me, it's working as expected and my ntfs partitions 
are showing correctly on the desktop.
