Regardless of possible outcomes this is surely unhealthy. You should really look at what 'man gnome-mount' has to say (and that may include "SEE ALSO" section). At least some information is there. If your goal is to pass automatically additional options to mount then with nfts-3g you are in luck. You can use for that a /system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g gconf key.
