The latest official version of MacFUSE (2.0.3) is compatible with your iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 (32 bit kernel). If you installed any different/unofficial version of MacFUSE remove it and install version 2.0.3 from http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/. If you were using MacFUSE 2.0.3 all along, there are no incompatibilities left I can think of right now.
The following might be far fetched, but it is possible to tell NTFS-3G to ignore a drive. In this case the volume would be mounted using Apple's NTFS driver which will result in read-only access. In addition to that it won't show up in the drop down menu of the NTFS-3G preference pane. This matches your description. To verify that NTFS-3G has not been disabled for this volume you need to check if there is a file named .ntfs-readonly in the subdirectory .NTFS-3G on your NTFS volume. To check, attach the drive, open Terminal and type cd "/Volumes/<NAME OF YOUR NTFS VOLUME>" ls -la .NTFS-3G where <NAME OF YOUR NTFS VOLUME> should be replaced by the actual name of your NTFS volume. If the second command fails with a "No such file or directory" error, NTFS-3G is not disabled for this volume. If the command does not fail and lists a file called .ntfs-readonly, you have found the reason for your issue. I hope this helps.
