I just meant that I did not get a clue to confirm the
fix I mentioned was related to the issue you reported.

In most situation, the initial clue is logged into the
system log (whose location depends on the distribution),
and ntfs-3g and fuse try to log unusual conditions which
are met. The fix I suggested is related to having
"fuse internal error: node NNN not found" in the system
log file. Do you have this or something else logged ?

Using the debug option may be useful in complex
situations when there is no other clue.

The "-r1" suffix may mean some fix has been applied to
the base fuse-2.9.1, so I cannot really tell whether the one
I mentioned has been applied. Get the corresponding
source code, and check.
