I had that problem too (external and ntfs). But now works... What i did? First i noticed that ntfs-config wasn't installed, so i installed and marked the external option. Then, i remembered something from my slackware days, so i decided to add my user to the disk group. Rebooted, turned the disk on and voilá, the disk was automounted!
Edit: Ok, it wasn't the disk group thing that solved the problem... I changed one thing before rebooting that did it. I opened konqueror and in the left panel, in services/storage devices (not sure it's like this, mine is in portuguese), right-click on the device, went to properties and them unchecked the "mount as user option".
I should also add that going into /system settings /advanced /disk & filesystems and changing my DRIVE TYPE from Automatic to NTFS sure helped a bunch! a-doy!!
(especially since I had long ago formatted the external maxtor to NTFS!
here I was thinking it was a hardware issue....just goes ta sho ya!
