No it's fat32 alright.

That's what I was trying to avoid. I hoped there was
another way or I was just doing something wrong. Oh well...

Konstantinos:
Where is your Linux swap partition? I don't recommend building it in the LVM in case the LVM becomes corrupted you might be able to bring your system up to recover it.
And you are correct, it shows as FAT32 not NTFS.
How are you loading the NTFS driver, as a module or built into the kernel. The NTFS driver might be the cause of the problem. Also, in your fstab, set the file type from auto to vfat and see if that helps.
