NTFS HDD loses mount when serving DLNA

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Place media files on NTFS USB HDD
2. Configure MiniDLNA to see them 
3. Attempt to browse in PS3

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see all my files; I only see the smallest fraction of them.  
Additionally, checking under 'Partitions' in the web admin shows that my HDD's 
size and format are no longer visible (the mount point is, however).  Putting 
this down to MiniDLNA configuration, on attempting to reset the directory, the 
entire folder to which the HDD was mounted (/usb/storage, in my case) was 
non-existent.  Manually unmounted and remounted drive to repeat the merry 
cycle; drive works perfectly in all other cases.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Snake OS V1.3.2 (20111019).  MiniDLNA 1.0.24-1 and cvs-20110611.

Please provide any additional information below.

NAS is a Ritmo TL-86BT.  HDD is a 2TB Western Digital Elements (NTFS, 
/usb/storage, used for everything not related to running the NAS).  HDD is 
behind a generic USB hub also serving a flash drive (ext3, /usb/system, used 
for swap and opkg, no issues) and an Epson printer (correctly indicated in 
webmin, not yet tested).  It does not appear to be a power issue; the HDD is 
wall-powered and spins even when the NAS cannot read it properly.

I am running almost the same setup except my nas is a WLX-652.  The issue I 
have is, is PS3 will see my mp3's but not play them and the PS3 nor my windows 
7 machine will not see videos.
