Hey pras, fuse (File System in User Space) isn't for making a filesystem per se. What it basically does is overlays on top of existing filesystem like hpfs,ntfs,sshfs (sshfs depends on libfuse[a fuse library]) and other fs around. I use it all the time for remote sshfs. So basically you have a filesystem and u can use fuse to r/w on top of a filesystem that it manages. So essentially fuse is like a middle man who manages every r/w to a particular type of file system as in your case a ntfs filesystem without you having to worry about the underlying parameters.
