This is just a followup post for those who would like to know how this
conversation developed. The details are in this ELRepo mailing list
thread:

In short, the write support offered by the kernel (hence kmod-ntfs) is
quite limited. Alan Bartlett pointed to this section of the kernel
Kconfig file:
"The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or
renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to
so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
be written to."
Conclusion is, if you need to write to NTFS, you should use ntfs-3g.

I can write, rename, create folders and files under kernel -2.6.18-164.2.1.el5
