Use ntfsprogs v.2.0.0 for operating with NTFS volumes
Registered by
Andrey Zhekov
"Directory index handling code was merged from ntfs-3g to libntfs. It was the only missing part for full basic read/write in ntfsmount." .The new mounting utility from ntfsprogs v.2.0.0 supports resizing of MS Vista's volumes and reading encrypted files (having the proper keys).

Whiteboard
There currently is what appears to be bad blood going on between the two main ntfs projects.
See:

and

Hopefully both parties can work together. Definitely appears that for the time being v2.0.0 needs patching and more testing before it should be considered for inclusion.

Lets use it only in Hardy+1
and only if ntfsprogs was stable
