That means one of two things.
1. Do /media/External/usb1, /media/External/usb2,
and /media/External/usb3 exist? Remember, linux is case-sensitive.

2. The options are wrong for the drives. That means changing the
'rw,hard,intr' part. I don't know what they should be, and I don't use
NTFS format. Try 'rw,relatime'. Also, in a terminal, try typing 'man
mount' and 'man fstab' for more information.
