As stated before the original problem of this bug report seems no to be
related to ntfs-3g.

I any case the problem I have is related to this, the auto mount of an ntfs
partition in gutsy lacs national characters like ñ or ó, as stated before
file names with this characters become invisible. Acording to

there sould be no need for the locale= option but on my system it fixes the
lac of this characters. Also without the locale option the auto mount (boot
mount) of my partition lacs the characters but a later remount has the
adequate regional character support.

So IMHO it seems gutsy is mounting the partition before having a language
environment completely set up, I lac the knowledge to prove this but if
someone has a pointer I can try an look on it.

$ cat /etc/fstab
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda2
UUID=4004015C040155F6 /mnt/win ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46
0 1

$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG="es_CR.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="es_CR:es"
