NTFS-3G is failing when mounting disk

I need help. I am trying to mount NTFS on Linux RH E 5. Below are the steps I am performing and it is still failing.  It keeps saying the device is busy when I try to mount it. However when I do an umount it says it is not mounted. Thanks in advanced for the help

[root@************* ~]# rpm -qa|grep ntfs
fuse-ntfs-3g-2010.5.22-1.el5.rf
kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.9-78.0.17.ELsmp-2.1.20-0.rr.10.0
[root@************* ~]#



[root@v ~]# mount -t ntfs /dev/sdbm1 /mnt/ntfs -o force
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Device or resource busy
[root@*********** ~]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/disk/by-uuid/8818EA3B18EA2840 /ntfs -o uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0113,dmask=0002,locale=en_GB.utf8,noatime
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Device or resource busy
[root@*********** ~]# ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/

[root@*********** ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdbm1

Disk /dev/sdbm1: 2199.0 GB, 2199020350464 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 267348 cylinders

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

      Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdbm1p1   ?       13578      119522   850995205   72  Unknown
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdbm1p2   ?       45382       79243   271987362   74  Unknown
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdbm1p3   ?       10499       10499           0   65  Novell Netware 386
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdbm1p4          167628      167631       25817+   0  Empty
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

[root@*********** ~]#  fuser -c ntfs-3g
