The issue about NTFS and CentOS 5.3 is that the NTFS code is now
broken upstream, which means centosplus kernels do not have ntfs
enabled as of 5.3.  The details can be found here:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3363

Those who were using the centosplus kernel to get ntfs working now
need to use either (1) ntfs-3g by following
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/NTFS or (2)  the kmod-ntfs
package from ElRepo ( http://elrepo.org ) as detailed in the above bug
tracker.
