Another thing you could try:
$ guestfish -N fs:ntfs -m /dev/sda1 touch /this-is-a-test
This will create an empty NTFS filesystem in a disk image (called
'test1.img'), then touch one file. Since it doesn't involve any
existing filesystems or guests it's a good test of whether ntfs-3g is
working or broken.
You can also run:
$ strings -e l test1.img
to look at strings in the test image.
