Cannout Mount NTFS volume, any help appreciated

Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

What are those partitions?  Because you have to partition table if they start at sector 0.

This fdisk output doesn't make much sense. What is this thing you are trying to mount? How has it been formatted? Does it mount in Windows?

That looks like some very strange windows magic, maybe this might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-978058.html

By chance are those USB drives from Sandisk (the ones with U3 on them)?

I had the exact same issue with a Sandisk, copied the entire flash drive onto a different stick and had no issue with mounting the new drive.
