Writing to ntfs partitions?

Hi All,
I am trying to help a friend recover her Wind0ws harddisk. I have a backup of
all files on a UFS2 partition and I have a new and freshly
partitioned/formatted harddisk with a number of NTFS partitions. "man
mount_ntfs" mentions write support for ntfs partitions with some limitations,
but I can't seem to write anything to any of the ntfs partitions :(
I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Here is a transcript of what I've tried :
