Just add this line to /etc/fstab

UUID=36CC878C70FF1EC2   /media/PRTZ-src_sync   ntfs    defaults    1 2

Then just issue the command....

mount /media/PRTZ-src_sync

Now, this will result in the files being created in that directory space to be owned by root.  If you want the files to be owned by a specific user you'd have to use the uid=XXX,gid=XXX.
