Did you compile the NTFS write support version of the module? The
default version is RO.
Also note that the NTFS module, even in read/write mode, only permits
overwriting existing files and only so long as it doesn't change the
length of the file. You can't create or delete files or directories,
either. Really, NTFS is only good for reading files. Don't trust it
for anything else. If you must share files between Winblows and Linux,
either use a CIFS (Samba) mount of the filesystem or use VFAT
filesystems.
