Although the version of ntfs-3g with libntfs-3g.so.81 is in epel,
according to the output of your 'yum --enablerepo=epel install ntfs-3g'
command, yum got ntfs-3g from the sl-contrib repository. Two relevant
lines of your output are:
Package Arch Version Repository Size
ntfs-3g i386 2:1.1104-3.sl5 sl-contrib 147 k
So here's an hypothesis about what's going on: maybe sl-contrib is
enabled, has a version of ntfs-3g that's older than the one you want, and
yum doesn't look in epel once it's satisfied with what it learned from
sl-contrib. Try disabling sl-contrib. And you might also do 'yum clean
all'. Then I'll bet an update will get Version 2:2011.4.12-5.el5.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
