USB hard disk formatted as NTFS is being mounted as FAT by KDE (and of course fails) in Tumbleweed

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.57 Safari/534.24 I have a 500 Gb usb external hdd formated in ntfs. Before changing to Tumbleweed, the hdd was recognized and mounted correctly when it was plugged. Now, KDE applet informs "Could not mount the following device". Looking at the error logs I was able to find out that it was being mounted as fat, not ntfs. I can still mount it manually through the command line, but I would like to make the kde applet way working again. The hdd is working fine if I connect it to a WinXP or an openSUSE 11.4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Plug usb hdd Actual Results: Device notifier applet shows: Could not mount the following device: <name of the device> Expected Results: Device should be mounted
I am running Linux 2.6.38.4-23-default i686 and KDE: 4.6.2 (4.6.2) "release 1".
Is there something related to this mentioned in /var/log/messages when you try to mount the drive?
When I plug the drive, I get the following in /var/log/message May 2 20:23:27 tecra kernel: [ 2238.552083] usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 May 2 20:23:27 tecra kernel: [ 2238.709098] usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=152d, idProduct=2329 May 2 20:23:27 tecra kernel: [ 2238.709107] usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=5 May 2 20:23:27 tecra kernel: [ 2238.709113] usb 1-5: Product: USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge May 2 20:23:27 tecra kernel: [ 2238.709118] usb 1-5: Manufacturer: JMicron May 2 20:23:27 tecra kernel: [ 2238.709123] usb 1-5: SerialNumber: 9297294FFFFF May 2 20:23:27 tecra mtp-probe: checking bus 1, device 3: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-5" May 2 20:23:27 tecra mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 3 was not an MTP device May 2 20:23:27 tecra kernel: [ 2238.879866] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas May 2 20:23:27 tecra kernel: [ 2238.897965] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

Having same exact problem after updating kernel yesterday - 04 -05 -2011 , sorry I am not really so technical, I know I have Opensuse 11.4, KDE 4.6, and that message from Device Notifier is: "org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Failed: Requested filesystem type is neither well-known nor in /proc/filesystems nor in /etc/filesystems" If it can help I have a FAT32 disk which mounts ok!
