What you said is true but it applied to the older ntfs prior to ntfs3. Since the arrival of ntfs3, guest nolonger work and the external drive must be 'clean' for ntfs to mount. The advancement of technology.
I think I found some relevant discussions via Google:
Some mentioned a command called "ntfsfix", but I could not find it in DD-WRT. The error was "sh: eval: line 1: ntfsfix: not found". Maybe DD-WRT should pick it up.

Try using ntfsfix, which was part of the old ntfsprogs package and is now located in the ntfs-3g package (which you may already have installed).

Doing so is inherently unsafe. ntfsprogs has plans for a ntfsck, which would allow you to safely fix up and mark as clean a filesystem. However, the tool has not been implemented yet.
That said, simply clearing the dirty bit is a recipe for trouble. If a filesystem crashed you must run recovery before using it, which for now requires Windows as far as I know.
Some mentioned "fsck.ntfs" or "fsck -t ntfs -f". But it seemed that they're just aliases for ntfsfix.
Some suggested "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /media/mymounteddrive -o force".
Maybe you should switch to ext4...
