You can't properly 'write' to NTFS yet, even with 2.6.8.1 - the support is still very limited. With write support compiled into your kernel, you can apparently edit a pre-existing file (as long as you don't change the file size), but beyond that you can't do much else at the moment.
From
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfs.html, regarding NTFS driver version 2.5.11, the one bundled with the 2.6.8.1 kernel

The new driver, introduced in 2.5.11, has some write code, but it's very limited. The driver can overwrite existing files, but it cannot change the length, add new or delete existing files.
