Ehm... /sbin? settings?

The default file is a symlink and by replacing it you can choose the locale for mounting ntfs filesystems with ntfs-3g.
After every update, you have to re-enter the locale, else you cant see filenames with non latin characters.
See the wiki entry about "Automount NTFS filesystems with write support (ntfs-3g)", at HAL page.

That's silly.
KDE should be fixed to do correct option parsing for ntfs-3g,
and anyway - if you want to modify some file that is not in backup array of a package - put it in NoUpgrade into pacman.conf
