My apologies for posting an already solved problem, but dont know if its my
ignorance that is not getting me to my desired results.....trying to mount
an external usb hard drive(ntfs) in my system.

In my CentOS box, I tried to install dkms, dkms-fuse, fuse and fuse-ntfs-3g
as follows(including what happened)

[root at Production mnt]# yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g

Complete!

The hard drive shows in GUI, but doesn't open or mount as I expected.

The output of uname -a and rpm -qa|grep kernel|sort kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
are:

[root at Production mnt]# uname -a
Linux Production 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed May 24 05:28:30 CDT 2006
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root at Production mnt]# rpm -qa|grep kernel|sort kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
kernel-2.6.9-34.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.22.EL
kernel-smp-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL
kernel-smp-2.6.9-34.EL
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-78.0.22.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80
[root at Production mnt]#

I am guessing that I am using mismatched versions of kernels but just not
getting there...
Tried looking all over the place for a solution, haven't had any luck yet!

Thanks.
