If memory serves, the "yes" parameter is "mount at boot". Change that to "no" 
then create a good old fashioned init script like /etc/rc2.d/S99fuse_ntfs with 
the following contents:

#!/bin/sh
echo Mounting NTFS filesystem(s)...
mount /WinXP
echo done.

(and set the file ownership and permissions to match the other files in 
/etc/rc2.d).

When the system boots, once you get the moving orange blob thing appear, press 
ESC after a few seconds so that you can see the console messages in text mode. 
If all goes well you should see both messages in the init script echoed to the 
console with no errors in between.

Cheers

Andrew.
