ntfs-3g.usermap fails with “You have defined no user” on 16.04
The ntfs-3g.usermap command doesn't seem to work for me on an NTFS disk:
$ lsblk -no name,fstype | grep sdb1
└─sdb1 ntfs
$ umount /dev/sdb1
$ mount | grep sdb1
$ sudo ntfs-3g.usermap /dev/sdb1
This tool will help you to build a mapping of Windows users
to Linux users.
Be prepared to give Linux user id (uid) and group id (gid)
for owners of files which will be selected.
"/dev/sdb1" opened
* Scanning "/dev/sdb1" (two levels)
* Search for "Documents and Settings" and "Users"
* Search for other directories /
in directory "/"
file "Autorun.inf" has no mapped group
By which Linux login should this file be owned ?
Enter gid of login, or just press "enter" if this file
does not belong to a user, or you do not known to whom
Group :
"/dev/sdb1" closed
You have defined no user, no mapping can be built
$ ls UserMap*
ls: cannot access 'UserMap*': No such file or directory
The result is the same regardless if I just press <Enter> for the Group : prompt, or type some specific user name followed by <Enter>.
What can I do? I don't even know why it fails, can I find a more detailed error message somewhere?

In the end, I did write a dummy UserMapping file on the disk and re-mounted it, and this seems to have helped by enabling permissions on the drive. Still, that's more like a workaround; I'm still curious what's the proper solution to the original question.
What I did:
$ mkdir /media/akavel/Maxtor/.NTFS-3G
$ echo '::S-1-5-21-3333333333-222222222-111111111-10000' > /media/akavel/Maxtor/.NTFS-3G/UserMapping
$ umount /dev/sdb1
$ # click in File Explorer to mount automatically again
