Oh man you are a life-saver. I owe you one. Lol ... actually i'm fairly new at mac. about 4 days old :D. But i'm quick to learn. what was happening was that when i would unmount and mount (even after uninstalling NFTS-3g and macfuse) my partition would again mount as NTFS-3g. But thanks to you. I pyhsically went into that directory and removed ntfs-3g.fs file, remounted my partition and it worked like a charm. However, if you don't mind, may i ask you a genernal question about mac (since i'm new to it). So it seems like even after uninstalling applications, system files did not go away. I had to physically go in and "move to trash". Is there something wrong with my uninstall mechanism in genenal? because obviously my NTFS-3g files did not complete remove, nor did my macfuse files complete remove. Like I said even after using the command mentioned in FAQ the fusefs.fs files still remain there. Can is physically go in and "move it to trash"? I know this is the not the proper way, but it seems like the proper way does not work? And how can I remove all these softwares completely? Thanks once again. And i hope other people like myself (searching the web) may find you advice useful.
