yum --enablerepo=epel provides \*/libntfs-3g.so.81
finds libntfs-3g.so.81 in epel's ntfs-3g-2011.4.12-5.el5.i386, so
installing ntfsprogs from epel with yum should resolve the dependency by
getting both it and ntfs-3g. Indeed, with sl-contrib (and, it happens,
epel) disabled by default, and neither ntfsprogs nor ntfs-3g installed on
my SL5 i386 computer,
yum --enablerepo=epel install ntfsprogs
did install both. Maybe more details about what yum repos are enabled,
what you did, and what the yum output was would help explain why what you
tried didn't work. Or you might be able to resolve the problem simply by
first installing ntfs-3g from epel.

nice to know, but following such is still no help.
So it may be safer to instead remove the "priority=10" line in the
sl-contrib repo, or just temporarily disable sl-contrib, as I previously
suggested.

i took that even further. i removed old '2:ntfsprogs-2011.4.12-5.el5.i386'
and 'testdisk-6.12-1.el5.i386'.
it matters not where i tried to install the new packages from, i still get
same error, "Missing Dependency: libntfs-3g.so.81 is needed by ...".
