I think I've figured it out. The ntfs driver in kernel is the old
read-only one and ntfs3 is the new read-write kernel driver.

What we can do in the library is to fix the ntfs driver to be always
handled by fuse and add ntfs3 that is the read-write kernel driver. With
that we will fix this test but also enable more coverage.

This works for me:
