Howto write NTFS partition from OS X
In january, I wrote a post on MacFuse/writing NTFS partitions from OS X.
I promised to post a tutorial, so here it is:
So you have installed Windows/Vista via Bootcamp or any other method.
And now you want to write files from your OS X install to your Vista/Windows partition.
First you need to download and install those two softwares:
MacFUSE Tools: 0.2.2-r1
NTFS-3G: 1.328
Next unmount the ntfs partition with Diskutil.
Click the info button to get the disk identifier: disk0s3 for instance
Open Terminal and execute the following commands:
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/mount_fusefs /usr/bin/mount_fusefs
mkdir /Volumes/Vista
sudo /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /dev/disk0s2 /Volumes/

I think you also need the MacFuse core as well?

Yes I did have to install the macfuse core first. After running these commands I just get a prompt like this >
