[SOLVED] NTFS mount bitchy on gnome

Hello fellow Archers!

I've been having trouble with mounting NTFS drives on Arch64..
Search didn't help me sadly.

When I want to mount my NTFS drives using the Gnome "Mount Volume" item in the context menu, it does not display an error but does not do anything, too.

When I use

:: root@LukeArch /home/luke# gnome-mount -f ntfs-3g -d /dev/sda8

It works flawlessy and I can browse the drive like the regular linux file system using Nautilus.
So how can I coax Gnome into using the command above? Or at least use the ntfs-3g driver?

This is related to PolicyKit, I had the exact same problem a short while ago:

Similar solution can be found in the wiki:
