If that doesn't do it, I expect you'll need to delete the partition

Well, it seems that I have ntfsresize, but no man page for it.

... You can delete a partition completely and then re-add
it back to the drive without any data loss as long as you ...
Make sure that you put the start of the partition at the exact
same place the old one was. Make sure you take notes of the start
and end locations of your partitions before you start ...
Today, I discovered this: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
CAUTION: Editing partitions has the potential to cause LOSS of DATA.
You are advised to BACKUP your DATA before using the gparted application.
CAUTION: Partition editing problems can be experienced using
GParted with newer GNU/Linux kernels (2.6.31+),
udev (138+), and parted (1.8.8.+ up to 2.2 inclusive).
These problems have even occurred with GParted Live 0.5.2-9.
So it doesn't look like gparted is going to be a viable option right now
in any case.
Perhaps I'm forced to buckle up and try the delete and re-add route.
You might try resizing back to the original size, then chkdsk, then try
GParted again, letting it resize the filesystem and partition together.
