Recently, one of my desktops seems to have developed a problem with the fstab and mounting USB drives. The specific error I receive is...

Unable to mount TRAVELDRIVE
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE
library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated
FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at
http://tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged

The contents of my fstab are...

/etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

I'm guessing its a problem with the duplicate /dev/sdd5 entries (?), but being the *nix noob I am, I'm not certain.

What am I missing? Any assist is greatly appreciated!
