You said that you were trying to mount two separate NTFS partitions, and
that you could mount either one or the other but not both.
I'm not aware of any restrictions on the number of NTFS file systems
that you can mount at once, but I know that you're allowed to mount up
to four primary partitions at once before you have to start using
logical partitions inside an extended partition (something I found out
the long, hard way).
So, I can't help but wonder if you're already mounting three primary
partitions (which seems to make sense -- root, swap, and boot), and then
trying to mount yet another two partitions, both of which happen to be
NTFS. In which case, the error message "...too many mounted file
systems" would certainly apply.
It's just a guess. But it would be instructive to see the entire
contents of your /etc/fstab.
