It's probably just a typo, but I noticed that you had to run pfexec mount -t ntfs-3g (long time since I've run that command, I may be slightly wrong. Either -t or -F, check the man page).
Also, try mkdir a directory in /mnt that you can then use as a mountpoint. That's what mount is complaining about. Also suggest running chkdsk within Windows if possible to check for fs errors that may be hanging up opensolaris.
