problem using NTFS partitions

hi guys, i am using arch linux, with kdemod.

i have two HDD

1. sda 80GB UATA
         sda1 20GB / ext3
         sda2 2GB   swap
         sda3 58GB /home ext3
2. sdb 250GB SATA
          10 NTFS partitions

i can see the NTFS partitions in system:/media but i cannot access them

if i login as root and click on the partitions in system:/media, i get the message, TODO: have to rethink options
if i login as normal user and click on the partition in system:/media, i get this message,

A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")

so, how do i access my NTFS partitions?
