MacRumors has a guide thread for this, but they may be making it far more complicated than needed. I haven't tried, but AFAICT, something like this should work:
  1. Open /System/Library/Filesystems/ntfs.fs/Contents/Info.plist in a text editor or (ideally) Property List Editor
  2. Set FSPersonalities -> NTFS -> FSMountArguments to something like "-o rw".

Would be cool of someone could try.

I tried this:
Code:
<key>FSPersonalities</key> <dict> <key>NTFS</key> <dict> <key>FSMountArguments</key> <string>-o rw</string> <key>FSMountExecutable</key> <string>../../../../../../sbin/mount_ntfs</string> <key>FSName</key> <string>Windows NT File System (NTFS)</string> </dict> </dict>
and I still can't write to my NTFS drive. This is on a multi-boot system that I normally eject the NTFS disks. Anything else you want me to try? I did repair permissions after editing and replacing the file.
