To Whom It May Concern, I have found what I believe to be a shortcoming in the driver. It allows colons to be used in filenames or directory names, when Windows XP does not support this and will give an error if you try to open such a directory.
I am using version 1:1.328-1 from Ubuntu 7.04 Universe, with Fuse 2.6.3-1 and kernel 2.6.20-15, and Gnome 2.18.1 (I used Nautilus to create the directory with the colon in the filename). As a colon is perfectly legal in Linux filesystems, and many former Windows users are still conditioned to use only the basic characters in filenames, it looks like this shortcoming might have slipped through the cracks. I wouldn't quite call it a bug, as NTFS doesn't have to be intrinsically linked to Windows; this is more of a Windows problem.
