Hopefully this can help someone. I spun my wheels on this for a while but finally found this solution.

If you are having issues mounting an NTFS drive and seeing one of the following errors:

$MFTMirr does not match $MFT
or
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it’s a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware
or
A similar issue where mounting an NTFS drive results in a volume of about 850Kb

Try this in the shell:

ntfsfix /dev/<device>
then
ntfs-3g /dev/<device> /mnt/<name>
then
you may have retry import using the web interface

That worked for me! Good luck. :)
