I guess the mount_ntfs-3g link to ntfs-3g is not created on FreeBSD, that's
why mount -t ntfs-3g ... doesn't work.
Hopefully both of these work:
ln -s /usr/locale/bin/ntfs-3g /sbin/mount_ntfs-3g
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /home/Jenny/Win
or (if /usr/locale/bin is in the $PATH)
ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /home/Jenny/Win

That wouldn't make 'mount -t ntfs-3g ...' work but I think the driver
should be indeed installed in /sbin by default to avoid some common
problems (/usr/local/bin isn't in the $PATH often, and more importantly,
to fix automounting during boot if /usr or /usr/local is on a separate
partition and the order of the fstab entries isn't right -- this is highly
mysterious and frustrating for users).

Yes, I think the symlink is missing, that's the real problem.

Thanks for the bug report. Cheers,
